MPH Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Well hes probably thinking as well as playing a full season he's also got a lot of travelling and extra games for the champions league coming up so its a lot on his schedule to include WC qualifying games into it aswell..
Brainy Posted 29 June 2016 Posted 29 June 2016 Will have most likely retired from football as a whole in two years time
Tuna Posted 30 June 2016 Posted 30 June 2016 Good news for us but i'm baffled by the spate of early international retirements in recent years.
The whole world smiles Posted 30 June 2016 Posted 30 June 2016 judging by his decision to retire at 30, the talent in their team and their level of performance I agree with the poster earlier who said something has gone on behind the scenes with Austria this Euro's. Guess we will have to wait for his autobiography to find out what.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 He's starting upfront against Chelsea then.

jammie82uk Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 Just now, stevelcfc said: Yeah, signed a 3 year contact with us I believe, meaning he has 2 left. Yeah Sounds like there is a option clause as well on his contract
Vardinio'sCat Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 So, what do we know about Austria? Leaving aside Adolf (and I think we should), the average Brit knows about Heidi, Mozart, The Sound of Music and dodgy folk dancing. That's about it... It has to be thigh-slappingly good, IMHO, but the leiderhosen could be tricky at short notice!

It is great for that at least. I can remember probably their most famous footballer Hans Krankl from the 1982 World Cup I think. Also went to Vienna for the Red Star UEFA Cup game in 2000 and it was a great City. Austria has great apple strudel and Vienna also has or had the largest ferris wheel in the world. That's about all I know off the top of my head.
Milo Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 Bless him! I lived in Austria for a while and I know that they have a bit of a history of shoe throwing (admittedly more in protest than celebration), and their Christmas Krampus nicking childrens shoes...but maybe everyone in the stadium showering him with our Timberlands as sign of affection, celebration and cultural solidarity? Could make for a little mild concussion on his part, and an awkward and uncomfortable walk home on our part...but still...
Izzy Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 I don't have a younger brother. But if I did, I'd want him to be Christian Fuchs.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 Waltzing, I forgot about that... I bet that would go down a storm (of a homophobic nature), with opposing fans! Still think thigh slapping and the like is best, really, with maybe some shoe throwing to rough things up a bit...
Wymsey Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 Fuchs is a rare type of footballer you see nowadays. Genuinely intelligent, respectful, likes to help others and down-to-earth. Also obviously professional. You can tell he's different to many others. Will be sad when he goes.
VLC86 Posted 12 October 2016 Posted 12 October 2016 Swear if he stays much longer I am going bankrupt. Starting putting money on I'm FGS early last season and now it's a case of if I don't do it I know he will score.

You can keep your Collymore's , Mancini's, Cambiasso's and other 5 minute wonders, and give me Fuchs any day of the week. He'll go down in Leicester folklore for me as an integral part of our title winning team on and off the pitch. Just hope we get to see him score in a City shirt to cement his legendary status. There's just something about Fuchs. He'll be successful in whatever he chooses to do with his life. A great character. I love him.

That's about all I know off the top of my head. I have skied in Austria once, can't remember much about it, but that's Austrian skiing holidays for you. The greatest ever Austrian footballer was Matthias Sindelar, as it happens, part of the 'Wunderteam' of the late 1920's/30's. His extraordinary story is hardly known over here, but he refused to play for the Nazi's, after the takeover of Austria in 1938, then died shortly after. http://thesefootballtimes.co/2015/01/18/matthias-sindelar-paper-man/ It is hard to find decent footage available of him, or that final 'unification' defeat of the Germans, but the fact he was dead within a year... well, even Jesse Owens got to go home after humiliating Hitler, even if it was to a racist and somewhat segregated USA.

All this quality around at the same time as each other, in the same country, incredible.
