Kaiser Classics: On the State of the Modern Game
By: Jan | December 2nd, 2009A new regular feature dedicated to the alpha, omega and all the greek letters in between of German football: Franz Beckenbauer.
This is from an interview with Beckenbauer from 1975. I guess even in the Seventies the good old times everyone keeps talking and dreaming about, the times before football had sold its’ soul and all, they were already over. Or football is caught in an infinite loop where its’ damned to keep selling its’ soul every season again and again.
There are English subtitles. If you don’t see the subtitles, then click on the button in the bottom right corner of the video and activate them.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my readings of football history, it’s always sold its soul, since the beginning. Or never had a soul to sell. And each generation thinks it was purer back before it was born.

Just like last weekend’s referee always made the worst calls of all time. Just like last weekend’s 0-0 was the most boring match in history. Just like last weekend’s 0-6 drubbing was the worst ever performance of a team. Ever.
