From scoring the winning goal in last year’s World Cup final, to being named the second worst player in the Bundesliga by his peers the following season, Mario Goetze’s fall from grace is the biggest since Pluto had its planetary status revoked.
But whereas Pluto is firmly on the comeback trail thanks to some candid long-lens snaps (tabloid gossip style) from that satellite, Goetze’s star continues to plummet.
His latest gaffe was the sort of culturally ignorant comment usually reserved for Americans. When quizzed by Chinese news agency Xinhau, he said: “I think Chinese food is great, especially sushi.”
Well done Mario. Why offend just one nation, when you can do two in one sentence?
