Previous meetings • Leverkusen overcame United on away goals when the clubs met for the first time in the 2001/02 semi-finals. • That tie began with a 2-2 first-leg draw at Old Trafford, United leading twice through a Boris Živković own goal (29) and Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty (67) and Leverkusen responding through Michael Ballack (62) and Oliver Neuville (75). Neuville's 45th-minute equaliser back in Germany cancelled out a Roy Keane goal (28), earning Klaus Toppmöller's Leverkusen a 1-1 draw on the night and victory on away goals. • Ryan Giggs is the only survivor in either squad of that 2002 meeting at Old Trafford while Phil Neville, now United's first-team coach, was an 18th-minute substitute for his brother Gary. Giggs played in the return leg too, with Phil Neville an unused substitute. Dimitar Berbatov, a future United player, featured in both games for Leverkusen. • United avenged that defeat by beating Leverkusen home and away in the next season's first group stage. Giggs and Neville played in United's 2-1 away success in September 2002, Van Nistelrooy (31, 44) scoring twice before Berbatov (52) pulled a goal back. • United then prevailed 2-0 back at Old Trafford, Juan Sebastian Verón (42) and Van Nistelrooy (69) scoring after Jan Šimák's early penalty miss for the visitors. United advanced to the second group stage as section winners, with Leverkusen in second place. • The lineups for that last encounter in Manchester were: Manchester United: Ricardo, O'Shea, Blanc (G Neville 77), Ferdinand, Silvestre, Beckham (Solskjær 78), Verón, Fortune, Giggs (Chadwick 81), Scholes, Van Nistelrooy.

  • Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team
    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

  • Switzerland V England Uefa Euro 2016 Qualifying Competition Monday 8 September 2014 St Jakob Park Stadium, Basel, Switzerland Kick Off: 8.45Pm (Local Time)
    SWITZERLAND V ENGLAND UEFA EURO 2016 QUALIFYING COMPETITION MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2014 ST JAKOB PARK STADIUM, BASEL, SWITZERLAND KICK OFF: 8.45PM (LOCAL TIME) 1 FOREWORD: ROY HODGSON Dear fans, Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your support in coming to our important away fixture in Basel. As you will no doubt be aware, this match against Switzerland could prove to be one of our toughest games of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign and we have to hit the ground running. Your brilliant commitment and effort will undoubtedly help us as we look to get off to the best possible start. I must also make reference to those of you that came out to Brazil in the summer. It was a bitterly disappointing tournament for the team, coaching staff, myself and – of course – all the fans. We will work very hard to rebuild the faith you have continued to show in us. The players and staff saw the lengths you went to following the team in Brazil and we hugely appreciated it. The support you gave us in Belo Horizonte was particularly humbling and it makes everyone determined to reward you and the fans back home with good performances and results. 2 My hope is that England supporters continue to stand alongside us when we represent the nation together. We have some exciting matches coming up – not least this fixture – and some other away games with our local rivals. Our next goal is to qualify for an exciting tournament in France and we will focus all of our efforts on that.
