@@samuraisoul1043 The Lives of Others is a great film and won Best Foreign Film at the 2007 Academy Awards. It's not really about the Stasi themselves, but about living in an environment with them. It is definitely a drama. Just like how this video more resembles a drama more than an action film.
you could make an entire episode just on how Berger saved Frankfurt from relegation in 1999. Shit was balls. Also Berger essentially build the Schalke team that won the UEFA-Cup in 1997 under Huub Stevens.
I know Ron from my childhood, he was camping in the 80s in Prerow East Germany every summer like my family did. We played often volleyball and football together at the beach. He's a great guy.
Great video by Tifo from Ralph’s article. Sometimes you can only appreciate some football careers/personalities by some of the wider social and political context that they inhabit.
Funny, this semester i had a teacher in economics who grow up in East Germany, lol. Now seriously, i wish Tifo football could do more videos about football in East Germany, specially about the BFC Dynamo, who was the powerhouse of East Germany those days, about every player that defected, every player and coaches who worked for the Stasi as an informant(Torstein Gutschow, for example), and etc....
Karan Sreedhar would you people just fuck off with this shit? So they always announce the story is from a website, big fucking deal. You people are like toddlers. Anything repeated more than once has you giggling like fucking mongs.
@@Jayfive276 what's the issue big guy? Just have a laugh why are you so mad? The athletic is amazing and i read stories from there all the time. And it's nice to see the video. It sounds like you who has got the problem.
@@mcseedat which is kinda getting old. I remember when a lot of viewers first started mocking Tifo for partnering up with Athletic which is absolutely uncalled for.
@@aidenfrost10 its not mocking, more just teasing. No one really has a problem with it ,its just messing around in the comments. Theres nothing wrong with that.
Tifo and The Athletic expose the humanity behind the professionals that are mostly considered commodities. Compelling story, and maybe one day I may subscribe to The Athletic.
Everything else in football is funded by gambling, fossil fuels and authoritarian states, yet you complain that Tifo is sponsored by a football writing website
Berger was way better. At the example he guided schalke, which was more a jojo club at that time than a good side, to the third place in 1995/1996. He had big part in the win of the UEFA CUP 1997 thanks to this place, although he was sacked a few games into 1996/1997 replaced by Huub Stevens another legend.
(I'm typing this off of memory, so corrections are appreciated) after the second world war, where Germany lost to the allies, it was split into two halves - the West (capitalist) one, representative of the US, and the East (communist), representative of Russia. both sides were separated by the Berlin Wall. living conditions on the East side weren't great at all, so many ran away to the West. as such, Russia implemented a MASSIVE spying network in East Germany, which was the Stasi. its goals, for short, were to essentially find and punish "traitors of the State". so basically, the manager in the video ran from East Germany to West Germany, and as a result, the Stasi considered him a traitor and continuously attempted to punish him and his family for it. all of his son's rejections into football clubs, school and the like were the Russia-backed spying network acting behind the scenes because they don't want people leaving East Germany for a better place. hope this helps put the video into context! (and if you're interested, do some research on your own; as I said, I'm typing this off of memory and might've gotten something wrong. cheers!)
Sort of amusing Berger would be bothered by former DDR officials in the German FA after reunification considering all the former Nazis that were kept around in the west despite supposed denazification, though I guess by '79 he wouldn't have seen much of that.
Have we really come so far as a society so we know have to explain homosexuality used to be taboo. My understanding it still is and frowned upon it might not be a popular opinion but is hardly shocking it is. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

this story is so cool!!!
Horror Storys about East Germany are always popular
Because the Stasi was unimaginable cruel by their tactics and ways of torturing
He left his young family.
Wow..... How can a ball of sport become much bigger than that....
Sooooo he was the German Sam Allardyce?
Berger was way better.
