If you watch a single football game, selected at random, then you can basically show almost everything that is said about statements in the room and provide the evidence for it. If you take the entire weekend, which was also randomly selected, then you can almost guarantee that everything will be there. Above all, it…

“Lewandowski can continue practicing free-kicks.” From this the 1-0 for Bayern. Good shot, ball deflected slightly in the wall, goalkeeper might still have a turn, but just in front of him another defender deliberately comes with his arm on the ball. That means a goal?! Nevertheless: intentional handball in the penalty area. What shoud that?…
Football was also played during the week, namely league football – the author’s core business — because in “everyday league life” the algorithms work best, which are ultimately supposed to secure the livelihood.

The so-called “whistleblowers” are currently – as of September 2019, with an uncertain future – in business. In this respect, the author would like to try himself as a free rider, jump on the train, which is overcrowded with those who are so characteristic, and also blow the whistle vigorously.
