The talent is there. Football is a treacherously round i.e. ad lib affair.

My present guess: Top favourites for WC 2010 (in hierarchical oder):

Brazil
Germany
Argentina
Italy

Yes, he was cared for taunting one of the Swedes during the PK shootout.

Did we ever find out what the goalkeeper got booked for in the semis (and thus suspended in the final)? Wonder how much that would have changed the game?

how about this for a fun fact:
Germany are current “Europameister” on the following levels:
U-17, U-19 and U-21

one match shy of rounding off the set with the aforementioned final loss to Espana… not bad at all Germany
