Karl ‘Charly’ Elsener (1934-2010)

Gris-Gris — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:24:05 +0000

Der ehemalige Schweizer Nati-Goalie ist in Zürich einer Lungenentzündung erlegen.

In der Saison 1953/54 spielte Elsener beim FC Winterthur. 1956 gewann er mit dem Grasshopper-Club Zürich die Meisterschaft in der Nationalliga A. Der 34-fache Internationale nahm an zwei Weltmeisterschaften teil…

…hier sehen wir ihn im Tor der Schweizer Nati im Vorrunde-Spiel Deutschland-Schweiz an der WM 1966 in England. Der Kommentator erwähnt Elsener nicht – Elsener muss fünfmal hinter sich greifen, das Spiel endet 5:0 für Deutschland.

A Reuters Video on MarketWatch.com.

What’s coming next? El Pulpo Paul from Oberhausen (see a picture of him in late July 2010) has just announced that Germany will win over Uruguay in the fight for third place on Saturday (Associated Press).

That’s good news for the German police and fire departments.

Fourth of July

Eric — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 13:31:16 +0000

We are late (as usual): Yesterday, Americans celebrated their nation’s 234th Independence Day with parades and fireworks all over the country.

Whatever! Let us go back even further in time. Here’s a fireworks timelapse as seen on Fourth of July 2008 from a friend’s apartment facing towards the fireworks, each frame taken at 1 second intervals over 21 minutes and 11 seconds, making for a total of 1,271 frames (- brownpau on YouTube).

Beautiful!

Update (some bits later):
Sorry folks, the link was killed by FIFA. Old man Blatter, you know. He is going to die at an old age. So no fun anymore.

RIP Blatter the Swiss Sepp!
