A lot of us cried “doom and gloom”; a lot of us thought it was over for Germany after a deflating performance against France in their Euro 2020 opener. Yet, today, the attack was inspired, the play was joyful, the defense was shaky and Germany won. It wasn’t a last second free kick from Toni Kroos; it wasn’t a lucky goal; they deserved the victory.With Hungary taking a point against France today, every team is alive going into the final matchday; all Germany has to do (no easy task) is to beat Hungary on the final day and they will qualify; in fact, if Portugal beats France on the final day and Germany beats Hungary, Germany will finish top.Hungary was supposed to be out of it all as was Germany; but both are alive and kicking ahead of the last day of this group on Wednesday, 06/23. The deciders promise to be breathtaking; this game for me, was the best game of this tournament.Match StatsPortugal 2 - 4 GermanyPortugal goals: Cristiano Ronaldo 15’, Diogo Jota 67’Germany goals: Ruben Dias o.g. 35’, Raphael Guerreiro o.g. 39’, Kai Havertz 51’, Robin Gosens 60’Portugal: 42.4%, 7 SOGGermany: 57.6%, 12 SOGStats courtesy whoscored.comBe sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on the 2020 Euros.

The official news dropped this morning and Bayern Munich has hired RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann as its next coach.This development has been expected for days — if not weeks — but the final stages of this courtship operated at warp speed and were pretty much completed in what amounted to a little more than a day. Nagelsmann will take over for Hansi Flick, who will go down as the best shot-term manager in the history of the club — if not global football. With six (likely seven within a few weeks) titles to his name, Flick won a sextuple last season and is well on his way to securing a Bundesliga championship for this season.On this episode we discuss: The big news and how we got to this point. What we might see from Nagelsmann.Whether or not Nagelsmann will be allowed to be his own coach and use his own tactics, formation, players, etc. As always, thank you for the support!

Bayern Munich downed Wolfsburg 3-2 in the Bundesliga, but the biggest news of the day would not drop until the postgame when it was leaked that Hansi Flick had let the club’s front office know that he wanted to leave. Obviously, this is not great news for Bayern Munich fans, who saw Flick salvage what looked like a lost 2019/2020 season and turn that campaign into a sextuple-winning thrill-ride. There probably was not another manager who could have overseen that run with such success and aplomb, but Flick pushed nearly all the right buttons for 2019/2020, while also having tremendous success in 2020/2021 as well. There will be plenty to talk about in the coming days, but check out our initial reaction at Bavarian Podcast Works as we walk through the following topics: How Flick was able to fix Bayern Munich in 2019/2020.How effectively Flick managed his roster and communicated with players — which built an immense amount of trust.How things got to this point.
