Germany striker Podolski hit bus driver with a beer bottle
Apparently, losing a match is hard to swallow especially if you’re the host nation and lost to 2 goals in the last minute of extra-time… if only they hold on for a few more minutes they could’ve won through the penalty kicks again but it wasn’t meant to be.
So.. a man wearing a Germany jersey with the number 20, which is Podolski’s number hit a public bus driver’s head that resulted him in driving his bus into a parked Mercedes a few hours after Germany lost 2-0.
Okay so it was not Podolski since he swapped jersey with an Italian player right after the match hehe.
“When the driver commented that the ‘German players just weren’t good enough’, the passenger started insulting him,” a police spokesman said. “He then suddenly hit the driver in the head with a beer bottle.”
Moral of the story? Never discredit any team if the team’s supporter has beer in his hands.
This will never happen in Malaysia.. cuz you know why? Cuz the conversation will go like this (after Malaysia got drubbed 8-0 by Myanmar).
Bus Driver : Damn those Malaysian players! Play like cock one!
Disgruntled Malaysian Supporter (with Coca cola in hand not beer) : Ya lor! I came because I got free tickets and was there just to catch the concert after the match.
Bus Driver : Wah got concert ah? Who’s playing?
Supporter : Ohh.. just now got Jiaja, Jason Lo, Love Me Butch etc..
So both of them never talk football again. In fact they dropped by the mamak stall and chat about politics and music.
That’s how pathetic our national team is.

Did we really get hammered by Burma 0-8? When? The fact that I am not sure if this is fact or fiction (and did not even bother checking online) just shows how enthusiastic I am about our national team.
Oh yes, that MyTeam vs National Team match was a joke - a loooong yawn. I can go on and on about Claude Le Roy, Senegal, Cameroon, Ghana, South Korea, Japan - all on equal footing to us during Pestabola Merdeka years ago have overtaken us like Cristiano Ronaldo’s silver Porsche at full flight overtaking a tuk-tuk.
Maybe we need more unforgiving supporters like Brazill - supporters SO DEMANDING that winning 3-0 is not enough: you have to play beautifully as well. Or make fear a motivation - like what Uday did to Iraqi sportsmen. Or be totally radical: abolish the 3 (or izzit 2?) foreigners limit per game: meaning I can field the starting XI all foreigners.
Otherwise, how? I do not see any other way out of these doldrums.
