The way his hand is cocked shows that he is doing the 'Ballin' action which entails a person acting like they are shooting a Basketball. It is a very common celebration in sports.

Manuf 1,448 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Schweinsteiger's (supposed) Nazi salute after Bayern's win over RealAny football historians on here?.. how was Bayern Munich's relationship with the Nazi's...quick answer from wikipedia:The advent of Nazism put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. The president and the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club were also purged. Bayern was taunted as the "Jew's club" and as a semi-professional club Bayern was also affected by the ruling that football players had to be full amateurs again. In the following years Bayern could not sustain its role of contender for the national title, achieving mid-table results in its regional league insteadfar from nazi if you ask me.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Here's a decent article from Vital Chelsea:http://www.chelsea.v...le.asp?a=529182To save some time, here were the more salient points:Lewandowksi rogered Bayern's defence right up the backdoor, and he isn't anywhere near as good at doing that as Drogba, who can give even the very best a torrid time.Tymoschuk and van Buyten are slow as tug boats- Torres, Sturridge, Kalou, Mata and even Drogba should be able to run rings round them.Harassing the midfield can limit the touches on the ball for Robbery. They will come deep to get the ball where they'll be far less effective.Mario Gomez proved to the world yet again that he is the most overrated footballer of his generation.The lastI made up the last point.T It was not part of the article.
