Hamann has been called up to start tomorrow. Brilliant! Played like a complete fairy when he came on as a sub against Romania. Hope someone snaps his legs off.

Unfortunately, Harmoan does have a good touch, passes well and shoots accurately from distance (not something that England has dealt with terribly well of late).

More worried about Ulf Kristen meself...good player.

Has Hermoan ever had a good International match.....I seem to recall that he has failed to flatter each time he has played......club matches are a different tale....but internationally?

I might be wrong....go one.....put me right.

Hey Softie....."you know who" will be after you, baseball bat in hand, if you go round making comments/threats/requests like that. ;0)

Nice one Softy....unlike KK who doesn't like to hear of anyone getting injured, I take great pleasure when a player who's annoyed me gets hurt.....I hope he gets his balls kicked off!

Bobby, remember when Hamann came back from injury for us after stirring up crap in the German press, and we were all so understanding about it? He pulled out of every challenge, went for high balls with both feet on the ground and generally behaved like a first class jessie. We were very good about it because he had quality and we hoped he'd get over it. Against Romania he was that self-same pathetic weasel again and Romania tried to go through him whenever possible. Basically, Germany have 2 big fellas up front now in Kirsten and Jancker, a real battler in midfield (Jeremies) but then a fairy (Didi) and an OAP behind him. Shearer should run at Hamann while Owen jinks past Mattheus and we have ourselves a great big hole to run through: should do ok

Just be thankful Jorge Albertz aint playing , Haman aint a patch and his goal threat on the left would give severe problems

I didn't think Albertz would be your kind of player, Buff, I thought you liked the grafters, or is the criticism he gets for coasting through games and only turning it on when he gets a scoring chance unfounded? I'm just glad Thomas Hassler hasn't got anything left in the tank: the German Peter Beardsley and the player I used to most admire in World Football.
