Some said Mesut Özil needs to “make his commitment to Germany known."

So I went through Google’s back pages to see what MÖ previously said about Germany, Turkey and beyond.

A thread, that also includes a glimpse into of the complicated world of a player of immigrant background. Mesut Özil 2010: "I identify myself 100 percent with Germany"

Some Gladbach fans were in the news in Germany for chanting that referee Bibiana Steinhaus is a “whore.”

First of all, numbers. My partner joined me to football in a few countries & it's always the same question: Why aren’t there as many women at the ground as in DE?

She’s not wrong. Per @DLF, 35% of stadium-goers in Germany are women. In the Premier League, for instance, it’s 25%.
