I honestly can’t thank everyone individually for tolerating me. Y’all have made me laugh, scream, cry (in a good way), and kink shame. I have never seen such talented and dedicated people in my whole life, whether you make edits, openly express your opinions, or just shitpost like me.
Anyways…let’s get into this follow forever.

In 2015 Hector played full-time in every single match, except for the match against France where he had to finish early due to an injury. On March 29th he scored his first goal against Italy, leading Die Mannschaft to win 4:1.

A goalkeeper must be a leader. He runs the back line of defense. He is the eyes of the field. He is a communicator, an instructor, a director. He takes charge and lets no one get in his way. He is the General of the defense and carries the highest of responsibilities—protecting the goal.
