[Webster]

KdB being out for a few months could leave the door open for challengers to City.

True, but the consensus top challengers are down two* starters already.

*Depending on how you view Jurrien Timber, but I'm sort of combining him and Zinchenko into one injured left back anyway.

Watching Messi go through MLS like a scythe shouldn't be this captivating. And yet …

 

[Inky_Wretch]

What a strike.

[Webster]

First game of the Bundesliga, but Derek Rae's pronunciation game is already in mid-season form.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

So is Harry Kane's form.

 

[Twirling Time]

Derek Rae is fluent in German, I'm told, but German is (mostly) a phonetic language so names can't be hard. Foreigners (Ausländer auf Deutsch) might be a different critter.

I heard a podcast with him that he was able to hear German radio growing up in Scotland. He's very fastidious about pronunciations regardless of the country/language and I believe does extensive research to make sure that he's getting everything right.

Very much so. Did a podcast with Deitch ahead of the World Cup and it borders on obsession. I'm a huge fan of his.

That was the one. Like it when Deitch would go into how announcers prep.

Totally love when he those kind of pods. He kind of meanders with topics and such and there are some that I skip. Like I have no use for the wrestling stuff he does. But overall, it's a good pod.

The Ourand-Marchand pod is really good for sports media. A must listen.
