The "What I learned today" thread

Just in regards to Klose, how you can say he was over rated is beyond me.

Fantastic goal scorer he might not have been in Messi or Ronaldo goalscoring numbers but I think the below numbers show he knew where the goal was.

Kaiserslautern - 52 goals in 142 games

Werder Bremen- 63 goals in 132 games

Bayern Munich- 53 goals in 149 games

Lazio - 63 goals in 173 games

Germany- 71 goals in 137 games

That's about a goal every 3 game ratio which is a phenomenal record

So what you really found out today was that a man most famous for stapling his scrotum to his leg, in the name of humour, didn’t care too much for his personal well-being?

No because I knew that anyway.

So you learned that an idiot who didn’t care for his personal well-being took some risks with his personal well-being? I found out that Diego Maradona once scored a very good goal and that Adolf Hitler wasn’t a very nice man.

No need to be condescending over a useless and no doubt uninteresting piece of information I posted Thumbs Up

(could probably say that about most of my posts mind)

If he hadn’t missed that penalty he would have left a more secure legacy. He nearly won that World Cup himself, with the greatest of respect to their defence. He was sensational.

Agree

Recently rewatched highlights of 94 world cup. Scored every goal for Italy(bar 1 scored by Dino Baggio) from the knockout stages onwards, and if memory serves me correct he wasn't even 100% fit during the World Cup.

See below

Sorry about the foreign language but you get the drift

The best World Cup I’ve seen (and will ever see) with so many stars performing and Baggio was the best of them all.

As PM says, if Italy won that World Cup and he scored his peno his legacy would have been elevated to another level.

Note to self: Must find the extended highlights of this WC and watch it all again.

I watched the BBC review of ‘94 on YouTube this morning and his goals were all brilliant! I forgot how bad some of the refereeing was though! Absolutely comical at times.

Did the BBC not do one for ‘98? Or can you get those FIFA ones anywhere? I remember enjoying how they were done too.

I actually thought there was a season he scored more? He had a very decent penalty, which helped.

Stephen Geoghegan ! A man with the most Dublin head imaginable.
