3 July 2026: Germany: 6 Stories

1.  Nagelsmann, the  German national team coach....got dragged into a 3-hour meeting with DFB 'top-brass' yesterday....having to explain how the team 'failed'.  Afterwards....they asked him to resign.

Reports from Sky this AM...say he's submitted his resignation.  Based on some estimates....he'd still walk away with 7-million Euro.

2.  Drought?  Well....weather folks are saying rainfall is lagging.  In my backyard....leaves falling off the cherry tree already.

3.  Reform package done on sick-leave.  On day one of feeling 'ill'....you need a doctor's note.  Some doctors are saying this will be impossible to accomplish.

4.  3-0, Spain wins over Austria last night. Most impressive team that I've seen so far.

5. WELT piece.....a regular scheduled freight train....take 6 days to travel 600 km.

6.  I watched a clip of 'waiting-for-fuel' in Russia this AM.....roughly a 28-hour wait until he could fuel up.
