		<description>It makes me want to cry.  I don&#039;t know.  Where was the spirit of 2006?  I actually ended the World Cup as being a Germany supporter.  Anyhow Chris, when Bayern started to be inconsistent (I wonder if their 1-0 away win at Karlsruhe before the Champions League win over Fiorentina on Tuesday will be a sign of things to come, but then I had always try to be an eternal optimist) in the league, I realised the &#039;summer fairytale&#039; was a long and distant memory.  The current rift between Loew and Ballack helped me to confirmed the &#039;summer fairytale&#039; is definitely dead and buried.  The bubble has been burst.

&#039;Refreshing to see Germany doing a Holland.&#039;
Rob, thanks for &#039;reminding&#039; me.  I remembered my own father was always frustrated that his second team, Holland (he is an England fan actually) was always seemed to be in a squabble before a major tournament.  Now you say Germany doing a, Holland.  Kind of freaky.  And to think Germany and England will be playing in a friendly in Berlin next month.</description>
