german identity

The season two finale is here! Guest host Marcel Nadeem Aburakia is joined by former Borussia Dortmund legend and Germany international Patrick Owomoyela to discuss identity in German football. Both Marcel and Patrick talk about what it was like growing up and playing football in Germany and how racism in German football has changed over the years.

In the first episode of season two, James chats to goalkeeper Lutz Pfannenstiel about what it was like traveling the world to play football as a German. Did his nationality affect his experiences, did he miss Germany and what has he brought from his home country to help him in his role as sporting director at MLS expansion franchise St. Louis City SC? All that and some penguins in this episode.
