The talk in addition to looking at Ehmer’s career and previewing Nagelsmann’s Germany team selection, was a particularly insightful view into English-German football connections, and lasting relationships - topics that are to be reignited during the upcoming World Cup this week.

Active in the twinning since 1968, Frank has established and maintained football’s integral role of the partnership. Original members of the Reinickendorf team came along for the UK trip, and along with their English friends, even watched the Cup final together in the pub. (2/3)

The weather has been tumultuous here in London, so this #WordyWednesday will pay homage to that!
Hundewetter - literally ‘dog weather’, is a word that is used for particularly unpleasant, rainy, windy weather. I guess it’s still similar to our phrase “it’s raining cats and dogs”

Bicester is twinned with Neunkirchen-Seelscheid in Germany - a town that is now filled with lifelong friends Val has made over the years.
