Of course not. :p


The stories became longer, repetitive and painfully predictable by day two. Quit on day three if my memory serves me. :lol:

what a great book this is!

 

got it few days ago, my German is rather weak, so I need a lot of help from Google Translate, and it takes so much time, but it's worth reading really!

 

Strongly recommend it

German television made a documentary about the same topic this year (but of course also in german), maybe you are interested?

Well, I don't like this document. This is not what I was looking for.

 

I liked that book because it is about Munich 1972 Games AS A WHOLE.

We usually remember only about terror, and IT HAS TO BE REMEMBERED FOREVER, but apart from that there are many interesting stories about those Games and some of them are well-mentioned in this book.

Did you see the official film on the 1972 olympics?

      Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?
