But can you please explain to me why the managers and some fans of all these world class (in your own opinion) german / brazilian / polish players are becoming more and more critical of their contributions for their clubs. The list is growing with every passing year
because, for all the strengths of my fellow countrymen
they are morons
well, often
German fans are notoriously fickle and HYPER-critical
it's the kind of "critical" that does not exist in England AT ALL
Germans (fans, experts, commentators as well as ordinary people) are thriving on CRITICISM that is often detached from all reality

anything FOREIGN is almost always better
for ages, cooking programmes on German TV would just concentrate on foreign food and wine; despite the fact that many of the best white wines in the world , for instance, are German
it's irrelevant: when Germans aren't moaning about their predicament, they are yearning for a Holiday or MOVE abroad
essentially, Germans loathe themselves
read the Bundesliga or Nationalmannschaft thread: it's a constant moan-fest , despite the fact that we are in a good position
a year back our friend chrissi even dreamt of Bremen signing Huntelaar so that they could sell Klose, the best performer during a Werder season OF ALL TIME
but Huntelaar was a DUTCH TALTENT, so off you go, Miro
foreigners will NEVER understand this, and rightly so
