Manuel Neuer is smart?

Won half a million euros on Millionaire for charity...Quit on the last question.

I'd love to see Roonay on WWTBAM

Can just see him calling Coleen up as his phone a friend option

It depends on how difficult the questions were lol

The questions were pretty much all joke-questions though.
He's not dumb but I he doesn't come around as that smart but maybe the Ruhr-accent just makes him appear dumber than he is.

in the indian version of who wants to be a millionaire, a part time computer teacher from a random village in india's most backward state who earns 150 dollars a month won the game , aka 5 crore rupees.. if that guy can win it why cant neuer..

Other celebrities such as actors and actress managed to win 65k and 125k, no wonder footballers are smarter than these Models who call themselves actors and actress..

Footballers>>>Actors

It's fixed

This.

For some interpretation help, think of Carragher being on who wants to be a millionaire although as a Bavarian/Austrian I shouldn't really be talking xD

What were the questions if you don't mind posting?

I knew Neuer was a smartass Proof?



:lol!:

the last one million question was

"The Nürnberger, Martin Behaim, we owe the oldest ...?

A circle
B slide rule
C globe
D magnetic compass


i think it was the globe, from the 14th century.

He is smart.

He left Schalke in the best time he could have and yet he still won them a lot of cash.

Plus, he turned down ManU for Bayern

First Question:

What did Reinhold Messner with Mount Everest?

a) hit on it
b) tapped it
c) laid it
d) mounted it

Well, the first 3-5 questions are usually joke questions. From then on it gets interesting.

But then, many German football players are indeed pretty smart. You find lots of them who have an Abitur (German A-levels equivalent that allows you to go to a university) and not few actually complete a university degree after their football career. Oliver Kahn is currently studying management, for example.

Yeah, the vast majority of them seem pretty smart except for Poldi and Özil.

There are always exceptions that prove the rule

Neuer is stoic and intellectual :study:

Poor man's Frank "IQ-of-a-genius" Lampard.

Ive always had a feeling Ozil was actually smart, seeing as he has a "high football IQ"

khedira on the other hand, Mertesckaer doesnt strike me as a smart guy either

Khedira comes around as extremely intelligent and eloquent. I think he made his abitur (A-levels) with very high grades despite all the football training and games.
Mesut is incredibly shy, comes from a poor background and is hardly able to speak a whole sentence without some grammatical errors. That doesn't mean he's not smart because obviously there's a difference between IQ and education but he certainly doesn't seem like a guy you could have a meaningful conversation with.
Still, at least you can do an interview with him nowadays. His interviews when he first came into the league were incredibly painful to listen to.

Just from the way the talk and the answers they give Merte, Hummels, Müller and Götze seem pretty smart. Schweini, Boateng and Neuer not so much but they don't seem dumb either, just average, nice guys.

Sahin btw is an incredibly outgoing, bright, eloquent guy, that's why he was Dortmund's captain I guess. II always felt that Mesut and Nuri were completely opposite in their demeanour.

A couple footballers are just hard to judge, Boateng and Özil, for example, don't sound that smart because of their accents and probably education, doesn't mean they're dumb, as Serge pointed out.

Lahm, Müller and Mertesacker seem genuinely smart, when they give interviews, they don't just repeat talking points, but are actually able to give proper responses to the questions.
Khedira as well, those are the guys where you don't feel that they had to memorize their answers, but actually understand what they're saying.

Edit: BTW I think Schweinsteiger is pretty smart as well, but he's hot-headed and not the intellectual type.
