So. Here we go again – trying to kind of translate some of my posts into English. On the one hand that’ll train my English (and amuse those of my friends speaking a better English than me) – on the other hand it will make this blog more international. Due to my stay at the coca cola-flat in Berlin, I meet a lot of people from all over the world. As some of them don’t understand German at all, I will post in English every now an then.

Oh my goodness. What a tragedy for the German team!
The long haired, greasy, bad-looking Frings with all his tattoos was a bit confused and acted like a boxer instead of a Football player. So his lack of knowledge of the Football rules (Or maybe it was just because of his rest intelligence (Most Football players don’t have too much of that, you know?) grew out of his head together with all that hair?) caused a big rumor in Football-dominated Germany.

It was even presented as a Breaking news: Frings is suspended for the semi-final against Italy tomorrow.

Up to now I always thought, Breaking news are all about terror, war or dead popes…

But wait. Thinking about it… This one is even worse!!

So. Who will be the one to frighten the Italians? If it’s not for the only guy who would have been able to challenge for the title “Bad Hair 2006″? If it’s not for the guy, trying to get some colour into the match by his huge Tattoos?

How about Jens Lehmann, who had to look on his little sheet of paper before the penalty shoot-out started to remember “If the ref whistles, It’s a goal!”?

Or maybe Christoph Metzelder, who won’t shave until the Germans are out of the tournament (Just one more night, Metze, just one more night…) – but who keeps now stepping onto his own long beard, keeping himself from running around?

Or maybe even Philipp Lahm, the guy who’s so small, he might get lost in the green?

Yes. Now I realise: These are the real tragedies!
