Still hasn’t scored a hat trick if you go by the weird German definition that all goals need to be scored in the same half.   

He did last weekend vs Darmstadt

Never heard of that before 

 

Germans are weird.  But really I was hoping someone would bite so I could do my crappy visual  dad joke.

That's not the rule is it?

I thought it was just 3 goals in a row, so if they'd won 4-0 last night with upamecano getting goal number 2 and kane getting 1, 3 and 4 then it's not a hattrick, as it was he got goals 2, 3 and 4 so it was a hattrick

That's Still weird though. Just get three goals for a hatrick surely?

The term is borrowed from cricket (it’s taking three wickets in three balls, apparently the first time it happened in a competitive game some people in the crowd were so impressed they bought the bowler a new hat.  🤷‍♂️) but it would have almost certainly been used for football in the UK first.

When I was a kid and was growing up in Poland, it's was sort of accepted that a hat trick is 3 goals in one half. 

I then moved to England and that wasn't the case, and it no longer is a case in Poland either. 

So maybe it's an old school European thing rather than strictly German.
