Prinz Poldi
Hero or money? That is the question being asked of Lukas “Prinz Poldi” Podolski in this sign, which roughly translated says “Man City or Real (Madrid), fuck off. Poldi to FC (Köln). Hero or Money?”. Podolski, for those of you who don’t eagerly follow German soccer, is a striker for Bayern Munich and the...
