Illuminati-R-Us

I could not not make our football conoisseurs aware of this equisite collection of fumbles, own goals, pinball scenes and unwanted rebounds. The price, Shite Goal of the Month, is awarded as a viewers' prize from a shortlist of between five and twelve goals, by Zeiglers wunderbare Welt des Fußballs, a weekly after hours part satirical, part fandom football show on our public television. This video presents the monthly winners from the segment's first ten years The short animation before each goal is plucked from the legendary Goal of the Month/Year/Decade/Century segment of German Public Television's six o'clock on Saturday sports show. 120 masterworks, each a shining, glittering gem of football fuckuppery. I am positively astounded Hertha and SpVgg don't feature more often.

Tune in, and you will not be disappointed.


The show's host, Arnd Zeigler, is known for his mercilessly inquisitive and sometimes trenchant interview style. Here is how he tore into a hapless Jürgen Klopp after Klopp's Borussia demolished Zeigler's favourite team, Werder Bremen.

There are some quite stunning moments on that.

Another superb selection for 2022. No. 1 was scored, quite competently, actually, by SV Babelsberg 03. Yay!

November 2023

I shall enjoy that later, thanks. Having family christmas movies time this evening.

The keeper in No. 4 is a big unit. Or a fat bastard. Discuss.

He found the top corner splendidly, though.

He also won the competition for that month.

December edition. Excellent stuff.

January edition - maybe not as cogent as in other months. Do the German speakers spot the translation error when the commentator talks about what "laser" means?

February intallment. Great stuff again

Some excellent ones, two is a belter.

And indeed, No. 2 (haha) has won. It was FC Carl Zeiss Jena against, well, SV Babelsberg 03. The scorer, forward Elias Löder, already won a proper "Goal of the Month", a technically perfect overhead kick against... well you know whom - against Hertha, even if it was only against the farm team. I should probably not cheer for Elias Löder!

March offerings. the Heidenheim blunder is among them, as is the February winner.

Some quality there.

Btw, entry no. 3 won. Elias Löder is now the one and only person in the whole fucking Universe who has ever defended a Kacktor des Monats title. He is now the proud owner of two loo seats proclaiming his fame.
