Italian football has never made a secret of the fact to launch healthy with Libyan billion, and also FIFA courted Qaddafi's regime willingly out of international isolation. «Old men and» old ladies "could bring down about now - it would be more than fair.»

With money, one can buy everything. This has proved impressively Muammar al-Gaddafi in the past 42 years. The list of stars who the rich desert man to occur, is getting longer and longer. Nelly Furtado, Beyoncé, usher, Mariah Carey - they all took a hefty fee and sang for the Qaddafi clan. And all of a sudden, their behavior is embarrassing the pop singers, now they want to donate their fees. Mariah Carey did not know for whom she sang, she had been naive and feel terrible to have done with this madness.

And as often happens in times of great political events, dividing people into two categories. In this case, those whom are embarrassed to have taken money from Gaddafi are on one side; Italy is on the other side. At the latest since Berlusconi, every child knows: nothing is embarrassing the Italians.

This can be confirmed in the case of Libya. Especially the Italian Football League benefited from the multi-million dollar oil injection. Since 2002, 7.5 per cent of the top Club Juventus Turin include the company LAFICO. LAFICO is the Libyan State holding LIA and is the second largest shareholder of the Club.

Old ladies be not ashamed

Juventus not ashamed, on the contrary, the Association is shaking. The Supervisory Board met last week, but one was missing: Khaled Fareg Zentuti, Laficos. The absence of one man already tearing a huge hole in the Treasury. 39.5 Million euro net loss implications for the financial year 2010/11. In the previous year, the Club with the help of Libya stood much better: an increase of EUR 14.2 million proud sparkled on the statement. Here, the Club can use now no further problems.

» Old lady «, as the Club is called from the Tifosi, seven is only ranked the Italian League, qualification for the Champions League 2011 is located at unreachable distance. The defeat against AC Milan last weekend was just another step down. It is more likely that the old woman Club ashamed of his poor performance, as for any money. Glad they can be however that Gaddafi's long bragging to join Juventus even more, was just hot air.

Gaddafi is begging money, but actually almost to the good old football tradition in Italy. Greedy, the League investigated the dictator to get a part of the large cake. The Paramour of US Triestina won the million. The playful can this has not much used: athletic the Club was relegated last year, was allowed to remain in the series B, after the AC Ancona's competitors had to file for bankruptcy. Currently, the team is beaten down in last place in the second division. But also in Trieste you ashamed, just like in Juventus, for maximum performance.


Shopping in the Football League, however not enough the eccentric dictator Gaddafi. To watch from afar bored him, just like when the pop star was the motto of the revolution leader: right in the Middle instead of only! So he brought the football in their own country: he paid almost half a million euros for the game to the Italian Supercup between Juventus and Parma AC, which in 2002 was held in Libya. "And again: to date, which has» repentant «Club the Gage not donated.

Gaddafi is Blatters big Idol

Actually, you can not even scold the Italians for their behavior. The most powerful man of football, Sepp Blatter, must have taken the dictators as a great role model. Even if he is more like the calculating Mubarak as the quirky Gaddafi by his personality, he can not expel from his throne.

Determined clawing to the 75th anniversary of his power, wants nothing to do by the resignation. His career as President of FIFA, it is surprising here, began in 1998. Almost the entire 1990s Libya international was very isolated, the UN imposed an embargo in 1992 after the Lockerbie affair.

At the time, al-Saadi Gaddafi FiliuS felt he could easily burnish his country's reputation scratched on through the glittering world of football. Thus, the lone State financed the electoral campaign of Sepp Blatters: cooperation agreements were concluded with 17 African organisations, Ghana's support for Blatter reportedly worth 200,000 U.S. dollars. Blatter won, has been President since 1998, and buys, how you can hear hard votes.

Even though the great dream of the World Cup in their own country is long overdue, the African Championships to be held 2013 in Libya. It is uncertain whether the country has calmed until then. Gaddafi and his clan are not more ramblings from celebrating but with security in their fan curve.

While the Football League is silent, Berlusconi has now set a character: he announced publicly the friendship with Gadhafi. Not on Facebook, but in time-honored fashion television. Juventus Turin has here little resources, the friendship when money starts really in football.

Only when no money is flowing, can the Italian Football League away to his faithful friend and together perish with him: all three Italian teams have lost the first leg of the eighth finals of the Champions League. But it is precisely among friends: when it goes down, then together.

 Like the greats, you can buy the best football players in the world in the FIFA Soccer Manager, put together his dream team and show how the Bunny hop. Who is wise, accumulating a few hundred million and committed Messi, Robben or Messi.

Finally, it plays is with money in football easier, actually even quite simple. Long time, but this was the recipe of success: take much money, to buy the best players and win the trophies of this world. The Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester City are among big proponents of this simple but costly matter.

Just imagine that a few super-rich Rotzlöffel sat together before their game console and all of a sudden had enough of them to have the player only virtually. You wanted more, eventually you are money can buy everything. The Russian oil billionaire Roman Abramowitsch was one of this spoiled boy. in 2003, he bought the FC Chelsea, began the story of the rich man on the mold. The Club was still just as good as bankrupt, the patrons exhibited en masse blank cheques to himself the team properly aufzupimpen à. His training on the PC paid off: three times, Chelsea won the English Championship since then.

And it is suddenly under billionaires in vogue, to keep a football club: half of the English Premier League club has changed hands over the years. Seems to have been best, but Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. 2009, he bought Manchester City.

A club without expertise

German clubs were so far unaffected by the Arab money blessing. This is about to change now. A previously mysterious investor from Abu Dhabi to bail out the standing before the bankrupt Club 1860 Munich. After the Süddeutsche Zeitung previously speculated, the unknown investors finally got a name: Hasan Abdullah Ismaik. Even though his fortune for the most part comes from Abu Dhabi, is Ismaik Jordanians. 49 Percent of the shares of the club wants to or rather he is permitted to buy according to the statutes of the German Football League (DFL).

Ismaik wants to shell out €14 million for it. Yesterday he paid a short visit to Munich, now he can shine through the Club, all documents are translated. So but not enough: He wants to vigorously continue to pay, to buy a lot of Nice players. Only the motivation of the buyer remains questionable. While Manchester City at least when buying in the first Division played, 1860 Munich currently not once again makes a decent figure in the second Bundesliga. Although the Club is Club proudly, has but little to do with skill. It remains to be seen whether the millions of early flushing the club into the Premier League.

As the first dare speculation surfaced the presumption made wide, the mysterious patron was wrong only in the Club: indeed the local rivals, FC Bayern Munich, has been weeks of negative publicity: the success spoiled Club has issued last Saturday a sad performance against Borussia Mönchengladbach, bringing up the rear of the table. Pleased with the victory none fans has become at the end probably and players were simply relieved to have finally reached the longed-for third place. Should Bayern not defend this coveted spot can you miss participating in the premier class, an unimaginable disaster. Finally the Champions takes place League final next year in Munich.

Women buy clothes, men football clubs

The local rivals can only dream of such problems 1860 Munich. Although the second Bundesliga team has lost at the weekend against Aachen, but this is still the smallest problem of TSV. The Club is nearing bankruptcy, can no longer pay its players. The unloved city rival has offered his help. «And distracted exactly this gracious gesture of President Uli Hoeneß on Saturday from the shabby kick of the record: in painstaking work made the fans banners and attacked Hoeneß:» who shifted to the blue millions, not has earned our trust.»

But the fans of the other side are little impressed by the help. Rather, they would descend until in the fifth League as further help of FC Bayern. And now this new guy on the mold joins in this preschool class mature idea smaller beleidigter guys.

Still, it remained almost a year to Diego Maradona. Now, he is a new trainer of the Dubai success Club Al Wasl. Except for a few quirky headlines, which will bring nothing but the Club.

When I was little, Diego Maradona was regarded as a God as the God of football. The divine worship, even in Germany, was omnipresent and ranged in my childlike consciousness. She ranged even to the extent that I was wrong again following joke again: small Xassan sits with his Grandma in the Church. «All hibbelig he says to his grandmother:» Grandma, I need so badly to toilet. » My little one, then go but secretly and stand behind the Holy Maradona.» At this point, I always had to interrupt the joke because the adults already had to laugh. Thus, the joke was not even end. I did not understand the punch line at the time, Maradona was, after all, but a Saint.

In some corners of the world, people tell this joke probably today. In the United Arab Emirates, some people go so far as to call Maradona as the eighth wonder of the world. This quote comes from the mouths of Marwan bin Bayat, Vice President Al Wasl, one of the most famous football clubs in Asia.

And exactly at this Club, the eccentric football God signed a coach contract. Diego was actually on the way to the Switzerland. He wanted to listen to there a coach quote. But his connecting flight from Chechnya was late, wait, he didn't. A Superman like Maradona does not appear, the Swiss should have known that fact. But perhaps Maradona also didn't know that waiting in the Switzerland belongs to, that there just everything slower by outfit goes.

Thus, he took a machine to Dubai, where another offer waiting for him. The engine was finally on time according to the motto: first come, first malt. It can be discussed here, whether it was fate or an epiphany of God. Who shoots goals by God's hand or can box, can take for themselves claim to be guided by God. To trust is the strange little man at least to assert this.

From the athletes to the Witzfigur

But if Maradona von Gott was launched when he boarded the plane to Dubai, the Club Al Wasl is infested with the devil then? Or what could be the reason for an obligation of the former heroes? Eventually much has happened since the last won World Championship in Argentina in 1986. The hand of God fought at the time the ball into the goal, Maradona's nimble feet dribbelten the British football players on the sidelines almost floating, he bounced on hard at the end to the ground of reality.

Twice, he almost died from the effects of drugs, made only headlines with scandals, but no longer by successes. A thick Witzfigur, from the legend athletes dribbelndem from the was a junkie. But he stood up again and again, always looked the way back on his throne. Because gods are immortal, the former star had thought likely, when he became coach of the Argentine national team. He saw himself as the one, the true coach of team Argentina.

Messi is just Messi

Without tactics, without a plan, but with love, fun and enthusiasm he wanted to win. He thought well: so my mom has also made this with me before each game there was a hug, a kiss and appeal. In this way he became 1986 World champions, play he could also single-handedly.

However, he relied not only on air and love: he had just an ACE 2010 in South Africa in the sleeve: Lionel Messi. The talented young star could easily be confused with Jesus with the son of the Almighty: Messi, the image of Maradona's. Argentina became the high favorite in the race, she crept after the defeat against Germany humiliated from the field. People are just no gods, Messi is just Messi.


And maybe it was the hand of God, prevented that Messi had shots at the World Championships in South Africa in the gate in the last year. Shot 30 times, 30 times nothing happened. Wanted the sky to prove who's the real boss? The Mission of God is successfully completed in Argentina, Maradona is only a man. He lost not only the position of coach of the national team, he must train today no single team in Argentina more, ban for life.

But still the question what exactly is Al Wasl of the eighth wonder of the world remains unanswered. Just imagine, how Maradona heart the Arab players before each game and kisses, as he painted a cross in the air continuously, rage snaps out, is weeping on the floor, to end up talking yet again only by losses or renewed drug use by itself to make.

The Club in the past won seven titles, most recently 2007. Last season, it was just once fifth - of twelve crews, in the current season the Club stuck four matchdays before the end with 20 points behind League leaders Al-Jazira on square four. And now the eighth title with Maradona's divine help?

Being aware, its unpredictability so the minds of the Association. Secretly they hope probably accept flee quickly by itself. They have used it for a little attention. That got it, after just one day, all major newspapers and news agencies of the world reported on Maradona and Al Wasl. It is not more than a divine joke.

Is the cat out of the bag: Mohamed Bin Hammam in June, FIFA President Sepp Blatter calls out. While many of a revolution in the FIFA talk, Bin Hammam planned this move for a long time.

Villains live dangerously. Especially if they take even more villains to the friend. This just a villain would need to know the laws: it's going to eat and be eaten. Sepp Blatter, the godfather of FIFA, appears to have had little time, even alone to look at the gangster classic in his life. However just he into a Federation has been large, many observers compare with a Mafia family.

Until 1974, the FIFA was a rather small, modest Association. There was cash distributions only every four years after a World Cup, in the cabinets of the bosses were still not bundle, only a few more. It was just about football, not for money. But a small group of ripped guys realized the potential of football: the printing press was born.

And at this time the Brazilian Joao Havelange at the football sky appeared exactly. Havelange had actually to do with football, he was swimmer, water polo player, had participated even in the Olympic Games. But it didn't when he became President. Yes no longer primarily was to the sport, it was money, lots of money.

The price of FIFA: Take and give

If someone can embody a mafia boss from a sleazy gangster movie, then it was Havelange. Like a spider, he harnessed a network of friends in no time. Sly, he realized above all the great benefits of the supposedly weaker countries of Africa and Asia. Finally all votes counted in the democratic world, the FIFA equal, and there are indeed plenty of poor countries. The rulers of these lands often were dictators, didn't bother him.

Sani Abacha, Nigeria's dictator Havelange gave the nickname"the man who keeps his promises"and got as thanks the award of a Junior World Cup in his country. The principle is actually honest: it comes to take and give. Would be executed not opposition in Nigeria at the same time. But that was the price that FIFA had to pay to fill the Club cabinets in only four decades with billions.

Sepp Blatter has copied from precisely these structures. In the 1990s, he explained the dictators of the world to his best friends. He took their money and football that brought them home. His arguably best friend was a long time without question the Katari Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The rich investor from the small Gulf State was one of the major financial backers of Blatters during his campaign. Until its won election in 1998 had the world not expected that the Swiss could prevail against his rival Lennart Johansson. But the world had made the Bill without the money-filled envelopes which changed hands in the environment of choice.

To detect the corruption, you have to understand not even particularly much of it: Havelange had tired of the gangster games and voluntarily left the FIFA. He did favor exercise its influence to Blatters, 2014, Brazil surprisingly is host of the FIFA.


Libya's strauchelnder dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi bought the voices of Africa and 2010 the World Cup in Africa took place, completely democratically, without having ever allowed to apply a country from another continent. Why a World Cup should also not finally discharged in Africa, asked the people and were happy for the continent.

But then came the meltdown of the history of FIFA: the World Cup will take place in Qatar 2022. But it is only really a meltdown, no one who understands the structure of the FIFA was really surprised; Bin Hammam since only he held the ultimate reins in his hands, years in contrast to Blatter so far rather in the background is.

His personal ACE in the sleeve is his long relationship with the Emir of Qatar. The two know each other from Jack times, in which she sat apparently together and forged plans for world domination. At the right time, 1995, the Emir had his own father from power and brought Bin Hammam on the world stage of football. Only a year later the Katari in the FIFA Cabinet sat.

And while Sepp Blatter was seeking able, Bin Hammam look out who exactly should kill him where he wanted to go after the right playmates: to the top. He recognized the villains in Blatter and became his best friend. In the world of football which is very simple: you give money and collect the votes and you have really good friends.

When friends become enemies

Bin Hammam Bill went on: he continued to faithfully, Blatter and secured his position in the FIFA. In return, won Bin Hammam 2002 that choice is that Asian Football President, into a Mafia family just as usual. Shortly after his election, the Desert Fox continued signals that he saw not as a helper, but as a leader. With huge steps, he shot the Asian Football forward.

The Swiss did not fit the self-conscious behavior of his friend and interfered in its business. But Blatter has not considered at this point, that among gangsters friends can quickly become enemies. Long has Bin Hammam fought off to make up for the election to the FIFA Presidency. Indicated he has denied it but always there, confusion is provided, at the end. He has waited until 2022 was the result of the award of the World Cup.

Actually, the trade-off was different: the granting of the World Cup to Qatar should secure Blatter again voices and money. Almost dutifully had Bin Hammam helped to evacuate Blatters close, the South Koreans Chung Mong-Joon, out of the way but still in January. In a vote of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the billionaire lost his position as one of the Vice-Presidents of Blatters in FIFA's Executive Committee.

Chung Mong-Joon since 2002 tried in vain to meet Blatter from his throne. And also Bin Hammam harsh attacked the South Koreans. Astutely, he described the Katari as criminals. Bin Hammam countered aggressive without to conceal his true face here. Who to place him in the way he beat off head, hands and legs which. At one point, the world of FIFA differs however from the dark world of the Mafia bosses: uncomfortable journeymen are not shot on a hidden backyard, you can simply select and replacing it with a friend of the family: In case the election to the Vice-President by the Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, a brother of the King.

Bin Hammam is no revolutionary leader

With this move has Bin Hammam not Blatters main competitors switched off, but his own. Last Friday, he has now officially announced to compete for selection. Even though insiders still don't believe, that Bin Hammam really is, the spectacle of the past years seems like a perfectly staged play. Blatters reputation has suffered greatly through the double award of the World Cup last year and the accusations of corruption.

Some speak of revolution, now the Tunisian spring in the FIFA had arrived. Although adorns Hammam like this to want FIFA make more transparent and end corruption. But he is no revolutionary leader, Hammam is a usurper. Long he has planned this moment, who bought the right people, and given the wrong out of the way. At the end, not he wins better, but the nastier fight Blatter against Hammam.

A year ago, Diego Maradona coached the Club Al Wasl in Dubai. He has achieved nothing yet. Now burst also the last chance for a title this season, his team lost the GCC Champions League final in a penalty shootout

We all have probably: a dream or an idea we want to become what once, when we are big. Doctor, lawyer, singer or just football could be on this list. But what wants to be one even if it already is one of the greatest footballers in the world? Footballers have dreams, what they want to do later? To be coach of the Emirati Club Al Wasl is not definitely on the wish list of a player.

Diego Maradona was once one of the greats. Who was allowed to call themselves already otherwise with impunity the hand of God? He had a vision of early what post he would take after his legendary time as FIFA World Player: the coach of Argentina. He saw himself as the only people the truth, which was allowed to bear this title. That he realized this wish, we all know. We also know that this dream is quickly burst. It was even worse: he got a ban for life, for Argentine clubs. So, Maradona looks today like a politician in exile, banished from the home. A year ago, it moved Maradona to Dubai. The eighth wonder of the world, you had titled it there probably quite to his liking. Convinced had him probably the money and not the slimes: are whopping three and a half million euros plus a private jet for two years on his contract.

Maradona is circling his love handles

A year later now but follows the sober balance: miracle he has brought no cups let alone. Occupied Al Wasl last year still the fifth Patz of twelve teams, the Club now only on the eighth made it. Success is different. Last the team could get the double of League and Cup 2007, it won the GCC Champions League 2010 (here tell GCC). With Maradona the Emiratis had most large, they wanted to build on the successes. Last Sunday there was the last hope this year to bring still the first trophy as coach home. It was the GCC Champions League final. The chances were not even bad, won 3-1 in Bahrain Maradona with his boys in the first leg. As we know the enthusiastic Argentines, he danced omitted after the victory, left circle his Hüftfett in the stiff Bahrain, embraced and kissed his players left out. To win, with a large portion of certainty he step now so in the finals. A bit it reminds even of Munich as Maradona also had a final dahoam. But so the comparison will not succeed. Finally, the Emirates not Germany, Dubai, not Munich and the GCC Championships are probably also the UEFA Champions League. There is an outward and return leg, each team in the Gulf and a trainer has a finale everyone dahoam. Nevertheless, this cup for Maradona was worth not less than Jupp Heynkes his. The joy remained barred from two at the end, both times the penalty shoot-out blew up the big dream.

In his career as a player, Maradona had everything always at his feet – in an emergency in his hands. He then sold it as known as the hand of God. This is not possible in the coach business, he had to learn to do so again once bitter. Here, he can tell players what to do, what tactics against these and those teams might work, how you can win at the end. Play the player must but alone, are any other coaches in the world just on the sidelines and watch, rowing arms, jump can curse like Maradona. He can not run on the field, take the ball and just throw it into the goal. And so explained the defeat: "It was not in my hands".


Majid Nasser sees red

At the end it is not defeat but, hurts the Maradona, it is especially the how. The football world had with Bayern, had so well at the end as no one Chelsea the Cup, could Maradona as opposed to for his guys only ashamed. It was not the goal in the ninth minute, which sealed the downfall. Goalkeeper Majid Nasser was forced to leave the place after. A short scramble and the joy of Muharraqs after the goal provoked him so that a strong SAP with its massive skull missed the scorers. While Nasser already loses a lock over incredible 17 games in the League. In March of this year, he beat Al Ahli coach Quique Sanchez Flores on the back of the head easily. The reason: Al Ahli beat Al Wasl in the semi-final of the Etisalat Cup.

Apparently it Maradona saw as divinely ordained, that the Champions League did not see this lock - finally it does not belong to the domestic competition. But as so often proved Maradona as a coach that he does not always all right. That he can make water but no bread. But maybe he just can do nothing about it. Perhaps, Al Wasl is just, no team can bring to the top with the right attitude. In the 79 minute had Maradona helplessly watch, as was the second player with red square. His protégés have not learned it well to control emotions and anger. Right in front of the Bank of his coach, Al Wasl was rotten players Rashid Essa, Rashid Abdulrehman saw the yellow card for it. You may not know it whether or not provoked Essa was. He may have been simply no desire to play more. He made immediately without further ADO it the goalkeeper of Nasser and brutally stretched Abdulrehman to ground. Now nine left his team-mates on the lawn. Sportsmanship is different. Muharraq won 3-1 at the end. Thus, it was 4-4 after two games, players competed in a penalty shootout. It should not be simply the football God probably thought to himself. Who is so brutal means, has lost nothing on the stairs of the winner. Juan Egnacio Mercier scored his ball in the sky thus greatly reminded of Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid. Also Ramos attack rather than bolt the leather into the goal in the semi-final against Bayern in the star. Al Wasl player Mubarak Hassan scored his in the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper. The thousands of fans in the stadium had nothing to celebrate, while they had tried until the end of their team to assist with loud cries. It has not helped. So solidifies my theory, whether there is perhaps not yet a God. I once wondered if not God look at all games of Maradona's is he accompanied as a coach to thwart his victories at the end. As a small revenge on life, to show who is the true God.

Since the German national team is no longer rumbles through the tournaments, she has her fans everywhere in the world. In Beirut, capital of Lebanon. A report from the classic Germany against Holland.

When the German national team is playing, we suddenly Germany all, we are all a big. But who is entitled to this fact we? Is that an exclusive right of a country or are entitled to the German football-we also people from other countries? In the Lebanon, the answer to the question is clear. «Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of Germany fans hoped for a victory by "us"and cheered after the victory"we have won! «.» But where does the enthusiasm for football in the small Mediterranean? The people there have one thing in common: your country is one neither to Europe, yet it made their national team so far up to the World Cup. You will not forgo good football there but still. So the people on the Mediterranean coast just have other countries found, other teams, where they gave her heart. » The Lebanese fan is a Patriot without leaving home, he gave just his football love another Club ", describes coach Theo Bücker the situation briefly and succinctly.

Rivalry between Germany and Spain

Michel Ghanem is one of them. The 23-year-old is a Germany fan for ten years. "It was the World Cup 2002. I was incredibly intrigued by the team, especially the charismatic Oliver Kahn. " While Kahn was goalkeeper of the national team, Michel wore the Jersey of Kahn. Schweinsteiger is now proudly on his back. » I watch almost every match of the national team. I'm watching the play-offs in bars, the rest with friends at home.» With these friends he has on Facebook group» German football fans (Lebanon) - the national team "founded. Still, the group with 189 fans is quite quiet. In the future, all Germany fans in the Lebanon in this group are to gather here, however. In the Lebanon, it is similar in Europe: the followers of Holland and Germany also don't particularly like, games against each other have a special charm. However, the biggest rivalry there in the Lebanon during the World Cup between Germany and Brazil, during the European Championship between Germany and Spain. "Ninety percent of the Germany fans in the Lebanon are between 17-25 years old. The rivalry is thus based on the last decisive games we have lost ", says Michael Ghanem.


For these European Championships has the Lebanese capital out cleaned up again. To express the enthusiasm for the euro, there must be something more. Huge flags blowing in the street canyons of the Lebanese capital Beirut. Dimensions with which the Antifa to the plan easily could call in Germany. The EM 2012 is a welcome distraction from the crisis reports of the region this year. The situation in neighboring Syria develops more and more to the civil war, including massacres and uncertain output. Not wrong, experts fear that the fighting on the small, civil war-experienced neighbour could skip. The Lebanon is too divided in political as religious ways. And in football? There, the Lebanese are not agreed. However, the lines of conflict not along by political parties and religion run here. Walk along from families. Whether Germany, Italy, France or Spain, one is pure in the Lebanon's personal decision.

The Lebanese acts turns as most Germans

George Saad has decided also to Germany. He peeps all games away in his local pub in Monot. The 29-year-old has seen every game in the past few years, otherwise he is a fan of Bayern Munich. But he may not talk about, too much hurts even the defeat against Chelsea. in 2006, he went to Germany and has seen two games of his team at the stadium. When he tells them he is turns as most Germans.

Further, in the greedy goose, a couple of streets seem to have gathered today all Holland fans of the country. Women have bought uniformly handsome Orange dresses. Sports clothing and face paint absent, women put on chic - mainly orange. It has not helped. Even if the German country fans here were in the minority, at the end, they were the fair. And there is nothing better to win 2-1 against Holland as in a sea of Orange? Oh yes: to overcome Spain in the final.
