It is the second international break of the season, and thankfully not as painfully long as the last one. Long, of course, being a relative term because all international breaks feel like the reverse of being on that planet from Interstellar where seven years went by every hour.
Anyway. Where was I? Oh. Right. International football.
So! Florian Wirtz scored a rebound for Germany, their second in the 3-1 win over Serbia, which was apparently played behind closed doors for reasons that I don’t care
enough to look into? Doing a racism probably? Another pandemic? Kaiju attack? One of those things, for sure. (Just kidding, it was definitely doing a racism).
One thing he did not do was score against Switzerland last night, and someone should probably tell RedmenTV this? But it is a banger, so fair fucks. Worth seeing again.
Elsewhere, Cody Gakpo and Kostas Tsimikas faced off in Amsterdam. The Dutch ran roughshod over the Greeks, winning 7-0 on the night. Gakpo, somewhat shockingly given the scoreline, didn’t contribute a single goal or assist. Our favorite (needs citation) landlord got subbed off on the hour mark, whereas the Greek Scouser was brutally subjected to every single minute of that affair.
In Buenos Aires, Alexis Mac Allister faced off against Ronald Araujo, and duly lost 2-1, appropriately reflecting the collective national mourning in Argentina following Messi’s passing (from international football).
