Home
at the football displayed by the Vaterlaender on Wednesday
@dear Englanders and assorted groupies from Northern Ireland
unfortunately, I shall not be able to hold your hands come Wednesday
nor will I be able to gloat when Kuranyi, das Kopfballmonster, heads Germany to victory
the Vaterland is calling , ie , I will not be on the Island and quite probably incommunicado for a week
anglo is predicting a draw; blut and chrissi think it's 5 to 12 and we might as well not bother; even the ever robust Deisler has lowered his arms
the reason:
an injury crisis that renders this game somewhat irrelevant
most English fans were awaiting the mouthwatering World Cup combo of Klose and Poldi (the top goal scorers)
BOTH are out injured
what the hell, you then said; surely , there is still Gomez , the best young striker in world football; also the Bundesliga Player of the Season (his first)
erm
also injured
but surely, you Germans still have Schlaudraff, who scored that WUNDER-Tor against Bremen
sorry , chaps
injured as well
Kuranyi will head us to glory, alongside Helmes, who is probably going to start his first international ( PS he still plays in the 2nd division)
who cares, I hear you shout, you still have Ballack, a midfielder who has a better goal to game ratio than Owen
Ballack is out as well
what about Frings, his better half at the World Cup:
pah, no reason to panic, those pesky Germans have strength in depth, right , I hear you think
just pick Ballack's successor, Borowski, and Frings' World Cup replacement against Italy, Kehl
well, Boro won't be able to make it and Kehl is clearly not considered match-fit yet either
you are joking right down to the C-string, then
ok, mustn't grumble, what about 20-year-old German Champ, Khedira
the guy chased by half of Europe (Milan...)
could be a good moment to bring him on
sorry, my dear Englanders: injured as well
but couldn't we just move Schweinsteiger, the 2nd highest World Cup scorerpoints guy into the middle of midfield
regret to say, Schweini has back problems and won't attend either
not to worry, you throw in; at least you can replace him on the left with Jansen
NO CAN ; he was supreme against the Czechs but, you know, injuries....
so what's the midfield going to look like give me something to work with here 
well, Schneider should be there and Hitzelsperger, who really belongs into the B or C-Team , should be able to make it as well
the rest will be D-team , ie U-21 players, virtually nobody even in Germany has ever heard of before
sorry, let me summon this up: the entire attack as well as creative and defensive midfield are out with the exception of Schneider and the replacement would merely make the B- but mostly C-, or U-21 teams
you are such a pessimist; we still have 3 First XI defenders
what do you mean, THREE
well, Jansen's injury means Pander, who is still awaiting his first cap, could help out on the left
and then , we still have Lehmann, who is in fantastic form
phugh, what a relief; I was beginning to think this game could be an up-hill climb; so we are safe and sound then
well, Loew is fine when he does not have to do anyting; when his selection and tactical skills are needed , there might be better people like Rehagel or Hitzfeld; but's that's comparing him with the best; so yes, we'll probably be alright
so what do you predict
nothing other than a resounding victory
what about a 2:1 by Germany
Kuranyi to get a header; Castro to miss a penalty; Joe Cole to WIN a penalty, Lampard to convert it before Hitzelsperger scoress the winning goal in the last 2 minutes (20 metre cannon-shot)
and once all is done and dusted
I expect to collect all those Avatars and Signatures I have a bet on
unless, that is, you Englanders still want to punch out and hide under the stone that you have crawled out from
we all know that there is nothing more terrifying in world football than a bunch of angry C-Team Germans who feel nobody takes them seriously
@anglo
make sure EVERYBODY in the English dressing room sees this picture
lions will become little kittens
English men go all putty at the sight of female ankles
