If you only look at it from a sporting perspective, then Bayern is definitely an option. But to repeat myself clearly: as captains of the English squad in this political climate and the sporting prospects compared to ManU or (if necessary) Real in Spain to switch to D? Absolutely zero chance.
Which political climate is that supposed to be exactly? Are we talking about pure sporting value or actually about politics? Brexit is through, but at least compromises have been found or are still being found. When it comes to Ukraine, people stick together, at least that’s my impression.
Or is Germany so hated that you don’t want to see anyone there anymore?
And this eternal dwelling on the Second World War…well that’s a running gag for me that you just can’t put down because it’s somehow part of the culture now…with a wink.
Of course we’re talking about both. That cannot be separated at the moment. The Tories (they have been in power for 13 years) are currently so severely cornered that everything is being used to distract attention from the problems (cost of living crisis, housing crisis, energy crisis, partygate, Brexit, Scotland wants to leave, etc.). .
In England and the UK absolutely everything is being politicized / polarized at the moment. The Home Minister speaks of 100 million refugees who all want to go to the UK. Labor is currently more than 22 points ahead of the Tories (44 to 22 I think) and absolutely anything is going to be good to keep the Daily Mail readership engaged.
Compared to D, however, the Yellow Press has a far greater impact on daily conversations.
That’s why I say that as a German you totally misjudge what’s going on there. Brexit is absolutely not over yet. The agreement in NI also has to be approved by the NI Parliament, which is not in session at the moment.. because the Protestants refuse to give Sinn Fein the title of First Minister. When I talk about ‘Plague Island’, then that’s justified.
But to come back to the topic: Kane would certainly have a chance in sport at Bayern. But if he wants to go down in history as a great ENGLISH player then he can’t afford to play in D for Bayern when he could continue to play for Tottenham or United.
