He didn't really play all that well in the group stage and Löw figured that the Havertz-Werner linkup play might result in a goal, which it nearly did.

Of course it’s dumb, but it’s also dumb to compare the two things like the Tweet insinuated. The two incidents are completely unrelated. Just because people have thrown their money at a crying German child doesn’t mean they don’t care about some bloke dying on Hackney Marshes. All crowd funding for stuff like this is dumb.

craigcwwe Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I was reading earlier about that and apparently the money is being given to a charity and the girl isn't actually receiving the money personally.

Guest Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Well they have gone after his partner too now till she made her Twitter account private. The only part that now looks dodgy to me now are the unsolicited photos of people. What I can't wrap my head around is starting something like this with your account linked to your business account and a photo of a package you received with your address on.
