Match of the Day: Germany vs. Portugal
"Its really bitter!"
Germany to finish 3rd
1.40
Uli Hoeneß, FC Bayern Munich coach:
"The entertainment value and sporting achievement shown by the current DFB-eleven just cant be beaten."
An entire nation finds itself in the midst of emotional turmoil. On the one hand because Klinsmanns work is now even being praised by his biggest critic, Uli Hoeneß. While, on the other hand, the Germans have not yet recovered from watching their WC hopes dashed after losing to Italy with 0-2. "Its really bitter", a despondent DFB coach said. Will 3rd place heal the wound sufficiently?
Eusebio, Portugals football legend:
"Wherever Figo goes, success is soon to follow."
A statement, which perfectly describes Luis Figos club-football career, which has already seen him crowned as Champions League winner and honoured as footballer of the year. But, whilst donning the national colours of Portugal, his career is incomplete its missing a big title. "I cant play for ever", said Figo prior to the WC. Will he retire with a win over Germany? |
