A Tale of Two Keepers

A Tale of Two Keepers

Six of the best

Six of the best

With seven wins from seven matches, an eighth three-pointer against Austria would guarantee Germany a place at next year’s Euro 2012 finals in Poland and the Ukraine with two games to spare, and they didn’t disappoint what was a sell-out

Trust the Daily Mail...

September 1st 2001. I was on my way home having spent three weeks travelling around Poland, somewhere between Danzig and Koszalin. No Facebook, no Twitter, no Internet, just a ropey mobile telephone connection to my roving text reporter – my

Back to business... The squads for Austria and Poland

Philipp Lahm: A Very Silly Boy

Philipp Lahm: A Very Silly Boy

Another autobiography, another round of controversy – this time from current skipper Philipp Lahm. Those of us who follow the German game closely will know that Lahm is an intelligent, articulate, thoughtful man who wears his heart on his sleeve

And in a trice it was over...

Well, a couple of days. In my last blog entry I waxed lyrical about the hopes of the women’s side and the Under 17s… Only to see both campaigns come to a juddering halt.
