It will not be an easy path to the finals: Mexico-Romania-Italy (maybe France) Indeed it will be, they will need an "eye seeing" dog (appropriately a "German Shepherd"), to find the path, once they find it..... it is still questionable they will be able to go over the many hurdles in it. Beginning with their [lack of] youth. Oh, it is nice to dream isn't it? As for: Klaus...Since I have not closely followed the German national team or individual players in the last two years please give me your assesment of the team. I think Klaus is taking his nap right now, so it may be a while before he answers you. Meanwhile, I admit as you, I am not up to the latest in the German team, (other than their age), but there have been reports that after the first half, they take cold showers so they can be kept awake. Then after the second half they bring the wheelchairs. He, he, he....... Z. p.s. Re: Purewhatever....it makes me very mad when they bring that type of stuff into the sport. a friendly poke I do not mind at all, and I actually enjoy it, it is a mind game, but when they bring that type of stuff, it becomes pathetic. I have very strong libertarian views, that puts me at odds with any type of fanatic, but particularly those that are attached to flags, gods, and cannons. Last time I checked, we are all humans, it is high time we should learn to get along with each other! Please do not misinterpret me either, I am not a "pacifist" either, if a criminal deserves to be executed, the quicker the better! Anyway, enough of that stuff. On with the fest.... France 0 x 0 Paraguay..... into extra time. Paraguay reminds me of Uruguay, very tough on the defense, and somehow un-spectacular style, on the dry side, but.... frustratingly effective. It is the Latin American version of "cattenaccio"... Allez la France, allez la France, allez, allez..... France should win as it would be better for the show, however, they should score. I would hate to see this going to penalty shots.... Z.

Don't wanna be boring naming German team here, so just a few names besides those you mentioned already: Matth„us Although old sock (37) is still the regisseur in the old sock's team, still very motivated, had trouble with coach and with Klinsmann last year. K”pke Usually a world class goalkeeper, did not find right way yet. Reuter Very good defender Thon should direct the German game, so far not effective as usual. Kirsten Forward shooting precise and hard left and right M”ller is a chameleon can play excellent football but not very consistent. BTW, very good prediction if you forget team in brackets. Santa Klaus
