Former Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has been named the German Footballer of the Year for 2017.
Lahm retired in May after winning eight Bundesliga titles, six DFB-Pokal crowns, one Champions League and the 2014 World Cup in an extraordinarily distinguished career.
The defender s roll of honour includes being added to Bayern s Hall of Fame, while he was voted Footballer of the Year after leading the club to another league title last season.
German sport journalists voted Lahm the clear winner of the award, with Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos in second and Borussia Dortmund s 31-goal Bundesliga top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finishing third.
What a great evening! Truly an honor to receive the Personal Merit Award of the Bavarian Minister-…

Spain ended their 44-year wait for a major international title with a 1-0 victory over Germany at the Euro 2008 final here on Sunday.
Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game in the first half as football s perennial underachievers finally banished that unwanted tag to the history books.
It was the first time Spain had won the European title since 1964 and their first final since 1984.
They seemed to start tentatively and a mistake from Sergio Ramos gave Miroslav Klose a glorious opportunity after just four minutes, but after taking the ball past Carles Puyol his next touch was too strong and he ran the ball out of play.
Spain gradually started to settle but three-time champions Germany still had the next chance, Thomas Hitzlsperger hitting a…

This year’s star-studded event kicked off on Thursday evening with a wide selection of individual and team challenges highlighted by several wildly competitive games of dodgeball.

The NFL odds don’t seem to agree, as the Lions are underdogs in Baltimore as they battle the Ravens in Week 7. I’ll take the points with Detroit and group it with a pair of strong moneyline plays. I’ll also fill out a three-leg same-game parlay for Packers vs. Broncos, highlighting my three favorite NFL player props in that contest. Without further ado, here are my best free NFL parlay picks and predictions for Week 7. … There’s a lot on the line in the NFL regular-season finale between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in the Sunday Night Football odds. Whoever wins this game will lock up the AFC East title. A loss drops the Dolphins to the sixth seed while the Bills can breathe a little easier now that they’ve secured a postseason berth after Sunday’s early action. While Buffalo is riding high into Week 18 with four straight victories, the Dolphins are licking their wounds after getting obliterated in Baltimore and losing linebacker Bradley Chubb to a torn ACL, adding to a long list of injury concerns for the Dolphins. With momentum on the side of the Bills, NFL odds have them tabbed as a three-point favorite with the game having a total of 49.5. Let’s get int… The New York Jets host the New England Patriots in Thursday Night Football action this week. The Pats were supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league but they’ve exceeded expectations so far thanks to a solid defense and Rhamondre Stevenson. I’m betting on those things to continue with my favorite NFL picks and player props for the Patriots vs. Jets on Thursday, September 19. … |
