Guest JTS98 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Thread for the dearly departed who will no longer be with us next season.

Guest JTS98 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It had escaped my attention that this World Cup winner has also binned it. 29 years old and sounds like he just can't be fucked with it anymore.

Guest JTS98 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Mile Jedinak, of Australia, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa - and the vile Sydney FC - fame, is also ready to open a pub. I once saw him score a goal in a World Cup match. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-12/former-socceroos-captain-mile-jedinak-retires/12446746 Edited August 4, 2020 by JTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JTS98 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Mario Gomez. A champion with Stuttgart, Bayern, and Besiktas. Another player I've seen score at a major tournament.

David W Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Another World Cup winner, Benedikt Howedes. They should do what they do on PES and have the retired players play a friendly against PES United.

scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Schurrle sounds depressed in those comments. Perhaps he needs professional help. It would be sad to see such a talent retire early.Very talented player but screams of a wasted career, despite the winners medals etc. Shame though, it's not great seeing a 29 year old quit the game, when he should probably be at his peak or something close to it.As you say, maybe he does need help and if he does let us hope he gets it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented yer arse, headless chicken who ran like f**k and kicked the ball as hard as he could in the general direction of the goal. Absolutely stole a career at a decent level, incredible someone who can barely control a football has a WC medal. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List him in the underappreciated category I reckon. Didn't realise he was quite that old. Some career in the end up though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Lol. Schurrle with 22 goals in 57 caps for Germany, scored 2 in a world cup semi and literally assisted an extra time winner in the actual world cup final. Aye he was shite right enough. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. His current account has been for a while so unsure when said ban will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
