Things Aren’t Going Spectacularly Well For Stuttgart

Of course this is going to start off with a Jens howler – how could it not?

If not for his recent contract extension, Jens would be looking at a future NFL career after his latest comedy moment in goal on the weekend. It’s all really fairly simple: cross drifts towards goal, Jens catches ball, Jens drifts towards goal, ball winds up in goal. Just like an all-pro wide receiver. Stuttgart ended up winning, but still.

* – And I think Blur’s Song 2 has had its day as a goal celebration song. Yes, it worked wonderfully for a long time – but we’re creeping towards 2010 here. Turn the page already.

And in another unfortunate Stuttgart moment caught on camera, Mario Gomez’s international form has translated to television.

Mario’s opponent for the popular Saturday night show was, regrettably, a kid plucked out of the audience. Do you suppose Jogi was watching? Do you suppose Jogi even cares anymore?
