Last but not least: Beni counts the goals

Beni Thurnheer has made a deal with himself for his retirement from soccer: The «Nation’s Schnurri» plans to retire after the national team scores its 1,000th goal. According to Sonntagsblick, Köbi Kuhn’s team currently stands at 966 goals.

 The Sonntagsblick once again criticizes Swiss television, complaining that there are only "grey mice" on the screen. The presenters of the new generation may be nice and sweet, but they're not very exciting. SF had also failed to make the right use of "presenters with glamor" such as Anna Maier, Michelle Hunziker, Tamara Sedmak or Roman Kilchsperger. As idiosyncratic as this analysis is, Sobli hides another piece of news about a TV face in the sports section. It says that Beni Thurnheer has made a deal with himself for his departure from the television: The "Schnurri of the nation" wants to step down after scoring his 1000th goal for the national team. According to Sonntagsblick, Köbi Kuhn's men are currently on their 966th goal. Just 34 more goals for the national team and we will have to say goodbye to Beni. The Sonntagsblick calculates that it will only take two years until the 1000th goal is scored if the national team maintains its current average. This poses a real dilemma for all those who support the national team and Beni at the same time: with every eagerly awaited goal, Thurnheer's bye-bye comes closer, should he actually get serious. For Beni haters, on the other hand, there's only one thing to do: Hopp Schwiiz!
