To say I'm not absolutely devastated would be a lie. I'm in tears. Last year I read over here a rumour that Jonas wouldn鈥檛 be much longer in FC K枚ln. I didn't think it twice, and inmediatly booked a flight to Europe (I'm from Mexico, btw). All my savings went to that trip. August came, and after many days of adventure through different cities, I finally arrived to Cologne. The match I attended was K枚ln vs Stuttgart. The final score was a tie but I didnt care, I saw MY team, and most importantly I saw JONAS HECTOR PLAY. I still can鈥檛 believe I did that. I saw him, I walked through the streets of Cologne, entered their iconic cathedral, eat and devour their delicious chocolates, but must of all, I can't believe I was at the same space and time as my beloved captain. I'm in tears, I can't stop crying. To many it may seem as something stupid to cry over the retirement of a football player. But for the people who know me, they are VERY aware of my LOVE for this man. Some people here in tumblr may feel the same as me. And if don't, just imagine your favorite football player o f1 driver the day they'll decide to stop. I'm devastated, but not as much as if I wouldn't have done that trip back in august 2022.聽
Farewell my Jonas Hector, I will always support you.
"selbstbesoffen" (adj.): drunk on yourself (basically a step-up from being full of yourself)

This is the official Stadt K枚ln Twitter account tweeting about the view Neil Armstrong had from the moon, showing a picture of Earth with Cologne Cathedral photoshopped larger than life.
For my non-German friends - Cologne often gets mocked for being "selbstbesoffen" as explained above. Which is most certainly true - however, it is usually with a good amount of being able to laugh about themselves too.
Alsooooo es hat mich mehrere Jahre genomen aber ich glaube ich hab endlich das komische accent der Bob Der Sch盲del von Die Dunkelen F盲lle Des Harry Dresden H枚rb眉cher herausgeschnuffelt.

Ich h枚rte eben Faschingsmusik auf Youtube an und da gab es nen Lied mit 'K枚lsche Musik' in der Title. Na das w盲rs dann! H枚rt sich immer noch komisch an aber vieleicht n盲rft es mich jetzt nicht weiter so schlimm wenn er 'wat' und 'dat' und 'isch' sagt.
