I had no time to do any blogging the past couple of days, so I decided to cover some of the football that I missed with a few quick links instead.

• Germany beat Romania 3-1 coming from behind in a friendly on Wednesday. The match ended Romania’s fourteen match unbeaten run. Germany’s team was again heavily reshuffled and Lukas Podolski celebrated his comeback with a nice goal. (YouTube)
• That’s the spirit. Lukas Podolski after receiving a yellow card for pulling his shirt off. (YouTube)
