The European Championship round of 16 begins today, Germany meets the previously unconvincing Danes, who were able to secure second place in the weak England group. This England is a mystery to everyone at this European Championship. I have quite a few people around me who support England, but Southgate's security football disappoints everyone here, not just the fans in the motherland of football.
Doesn't matter. Today the cards are being reshuffled; those who disappointed in the group games can suddenly shine in the playoffs and vice versa. Nevertheless, the task seems feasible today. In the quarter-finals it would most likely be against the Spaniards, who have so far been absolutely convincing and have achieved new qualities. A point where Germany and its team are far from reaching, even if we here in the country have the feeling that after a wonderful generation, the really bad years of football could be over and something new could emerge. So I think that we will say goodbye as hosts in the quarter-finals at the latest, even if nobody says it here and it will hurt a little when the others make themselves comfortable in the own living room.
I have no memory of how this 12″ got on my record shelf.
I assume I pulled it out of a Grabbel box, at least that's what the printed price suggests, which was reduced several times until I came along and had mercy.
J. Saul Kane was no stranger at the beginning of the 90s, that could have been the motivation. Maybe I was also looking for more football topics, intrigued by New Order's “World in Motion”. The 12“ was also released for the 90 World Cup and, with its combination of hip hop breaks, heavy Latin basslines and madcap samples from football commentators and fans, was a tribute to football legend Pelé and the Brazilian team.
So let's see if it brings us luck today.
But Depth Charge is not The Barmy Army and the tracklist doesn't bode well either.
Goal (First Half)
Goal (Second Half + Extra Time)
Goal (Sudden Death Penalty Shoot Out)
