Alle in den letzen Jahren von der Eintracht hofierten Fans in Amerika wissen es schon: SG steht natürlich für Soccer Guys.

Thanks for 'andysplaining'. Pal.

Almost a decade on and it only takes one attempt to post a small parcel to the UK from Germany to trigger me into shouting at innocent passers-by, "Fuck fucking Brexit and all the fucking fuck-wits that voted for it!" €17 worth of frustration.

We demand the whole book.
