The real difference is that Müller's special, self-coined quality relates not to the concussive, oppositional aspects of football, but to a third-party element: air, space, the absence of people. And perhaps, as the football pitch shrinks and its mysteries are stretched thin by a shared athleticism, space really is all that is left: the Raumdeuter's sniffing out of wormholes and shortcuts, those tiny pockets of unspent possibility. Of course, some will see nothing exceptional in what Müller does, or at least nothing that can't be explained by conventional means. He is a wonderful close-range finisher. He moves intelligently and passes with his head up. Perhaps there is no need to attribute any qualities beyond those that are visible, no need to buy into the fable of the player who sees not just the planets but the dark matter in between. Perhaps the space investigator really is nothing more than another conjurer's trick, a dream of something more. Perhaps the truth is simply somewhere in between. But I, for one, definitely want to believe. Barney Ronay, ladies and gentlemen.

He's saying that when Muller fell over taking a free kick in the World Cup it was actually a brilliant use of space

To be fair if you've heard Barney Ronay on Football Weekly he is the most insincere person in the world, pretty sure his entire career has been a satire of the pretentious football writer.

I was at the LA Dodgers game last night when I spotted a few fans taking pictures with a young, blue haired guy in front of me. I realized it was Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann and that he was hanging out with some friends/Atleti players watching the game. My buddies asked if I was going to have him sign something or take a picture, but I told them I had a better idea. As my group was leaving the stadium, I walked over to Antoine's group and told him I was a fan and that he is an fantastic player. He shook my hand and then held out a pen as if to sign something. I said, "Oh no, I don't have anything to sign...in fact, I actually have something to give you! It's a great piece of advice Antoine - JOIN ARSENAL. We need you Antoine! Olivier needs you up front! You will finally win the champions league! Please Antoine?" Although Griezmann was laughing, the dozens of Atleti players/managers/coaches that were sitting around him got angry and started jeering me to leave. I couldn't be happier though. I figure it is like Inception - just planting the Arsenal seed. Gooner till I die.
