Germany rolls on!<BR/><BR/>Oh and sorry to be the nit picker, but it's been annoying the hell out of me during the Euros: Joachim Löw's name spelled in English ISN'T "Low" it's "LoEw" 2 totally different words. <BR/><BR/>the umlaut serves a similar function to an appostraphe and any letter with them merely means there is an 'E' after it. <BR/>i.e. <BR/>ö = oe<BR/>ä = ae<BR/>ü = ue<BR/>Bonus German lesson.

Anytime you have your arms extended against someone's back on a free kick like that, it's a foul.<BR/><BR/>How does the ref miss that? <BR/><BR/>Then Scolari takes off a forward needing two goals for a wide midfielder???
