I've just seen the German team to play Costa Rica.

Now, I don't watch a lot of German football, and I know Ballack isn't playing, but I only know 3 of the starting eleven.

Can anyone enlighten me lol.

The Germans are crap.

So much for me racing home and catching the match

Quote:

There are a number of security alerts across Belfast.
Army technical officers are examining a suspicious object at Clifton Street which has been closed.

Meanwhile, nothing has been found during alerts at the Castlecourt Shopping Centre, High Park Centre and Broadway.

There is also an alert at York Road and traffic is being diverted on to the M2. There are currently tailbacks on Dunbar link, York street, and Milltown Road.

I got emailed an interesting Excel spreadsheet for keeping track. It needs macro security set to medium to run (but give you instructions on how to do this). I thought you guys might find it interesting..

I have checked it for viruses, but scan it yourself before executing it.

Thanks for that Stuart, although I don't have the necessary program to run it (yet

) will look into it later.

True, they were pretty bad in Japanorea and they got to the final.

They leak goals though.

Ah right thanks.

I would have said playing for Bayern, he must be a talent, but the German league is not as strong as years gone by.

He's been called the next Stefan Effenberg.
Hopefully that won't mean he'll get kicked out of the world cup for giving the opposing fans the finger.

I had to re-read that then, thought you said Stefan Edberg for a minute

Not only was Edberg a tennis player, but is Swedish too.

Let's see how good these Germans are then.
