About the conspiracy theory on a bribe or threat against Brazil or the Coach... I just have too many fair minded Euros telling me that something in that game (France-Brazil) was not right, just wrong. They can't pin it down.

I was very impressed with Klinsi, especially after the Italy game where he was there consoling his players who gave it everything they had.
I really hope he is our next coach.
Much !

Grazie tanto.
England lacked output from those capable of delivering.
Ha, ha! I'm glad someone commented on that 8-)
I hope he keeps repeating himself on doing that on Sunday. :)
Although I have Italian roots and rooting for Italy, had there been England or Germany or any other team in the final instead of Italy, I would have rooted against French. Something about the Blues that I've yet to figure out the WHY.
against French = against France
It aint easy to generate output/goals when you're playing with one less man (Rooney) and that man can destabilize and create chaos in the opposing defense.
You got a good chance -he's a family guy and his family might not want to move to germany.
I am bit disappointed that everybody over here now starts a Klinsi hype. Don't get me wrong - he's a brillant team leader. A project manager rather than just a trainer and we have to pay tribute to his great performance.
... but there's other people that can keep up his work. He's not irreplacable - add to that I don't like this cult of persons - there's a team to be formed not a fetish. I understand that's what his message always was: noone is irreplacable.
What I see now reminds me on monty pythons life of brian - ' Brian: I am not the messiah ! - Mass: He's the messiah, only the true messia is denieing his devine identity !'
People should learn from his methods, then we can have better footballers in the league and better trainers. Comes time then - comes another excellent trainer.
The new guy has to take on the ol'farts in the DFB and the Bild Zeitung. So it takes a sympathic, emotional, hard-headed, innovative, motivating guy.
They should ask me ;-)
“I just have too many fair minded Euros telling me that something in that game (France-Brazil) was not right, just wrong.”
Yeah - Brazil. They haven’t been ‘right’ all tournament. Ronaldinho didn't do that much in the Champions League final either, although he wasn't useless. It happens.
Germany and the US are two different situations. Germany has the talent pool such that they are always going to be contender regardless of who the coach is.
For the US, we need somebody who is going to generate some momentum for the program and bring in knowledge of how the game is played at the highest level. And the fact is, Arena's experience was solely coaching college soccer and the MLS before taking over the US team.
I think it's on a good way in the states. Give it some time and there will be a high level league. You can't build a house top down though - the fundament, (i.e. some more soccer spectators and willing players) needs to be there first.
From a certain size on, more money and people wouldn't yield more performance (see Brazil). Then - what you need is a Klinsi - modern trainig methods - excellent motivational and teambuilding skills the hole BS.
But for now you need something like a salesman, some more events and time.
Bottom line: You don't need him.
Actually, he belongs to us !
He will never leave us !!!
Klinsi don't do it !!!!
Noooooooooooooooo !!!!!!
:)
you know this one, do you ?

I found this too:
awright - but that's definetly a yellow one(if he did that to prevent a goal that otherwise was to be considered inevitable). Maybe FIFA would ask Italy to send some video tracks of that scene and ban ronaldo for the next match.
umm yeah you 'found' it - right ?
Doesn't happen to be your page then ?
There are no shortage of English people who would like to see Ronaldo have his limbs torn off. They will have to form an orderly queue when he returns to Manchester. If he returns to Manchester...
jawn...
yeah - ok. You where robbed . So unfair. Ronaldo is a lousy winker.
BTW did you notice that FIFA took our best defence guy out of the semi finals because he dared to defend after he was kicked and beaten several times by the argentinians ? No ? Probably not.
Hey dude - these guys really could have won the cup. They where nearly as good as the italians even after the 120 minutes against the argentinians and even without their key player in the defense. Kicked out in the 118s minute.
DO YOU HERE US Fu§$$ing WHINE ABOUT THAT ? ARE WE BLAMING THE AIR HUMIDITY ?
The english team is just lucky some people in britain stand to them even if they let everybody down.
Must be a job like beeing actor in Holywood. (Girls, more fanning ! Children ! I just can't work if I am winked at.)
