Knowledge

is the ability to make everyone around you feel smarter. -- Capella University advertisement in RW magazine

How about making everyone around really smarter, yes, less stupid, instead of just feeling so? I bet you haven't heard of Capella University. Neither have I.

I am a man

Said my favourite baldie at the WC. Yes the one who won the golden ball. Three reasons he's my favourite:

1. He is losing hair.

2. He headbutts.

3. He loves his mama.

You can use all three points above to describe me.

 

To me, the best explanation so far for the red-card act is he did it deliberately in order to retire, not just from the pitch, but from his own legend. The burden of being a hero was too much.

I'm a Germany fan. And so is Mama. We love Grini-Klinsi!

You don't need talent to hustle

Germany played the last half-hour of normal time as if it were the last two minutes, doing everything at several hundred kilometres an hour, convinced that they could explode their way through the Argentina defence if only their knees went up and down fast enough: “Do not think, run, get the ball back in play, run some more.”

The importance of homework

One of the many innovations introduced by Jürgen Klinsmann since becoming manager of Germany is the concept of homework. Players who have not done any since their school days are given tasks to perform after hours, a way of extending the level of concentration to which Klinsmann is so dedicated. In his house in Bremen Miroslav Klose's homework involves trying to turn the light switches off by kicking a ball at them. "I've broken one vase and a picture," he said.

It could be worse, because the detail in Klose's assignment is that he has to use his left foot. Four years ago in South Korea he leapt on to the international stage with five headers as Germany reached the World Cup final. This time around Klose has nabbed four and is the competition's leading scorer. One of those against Costa Rica was with his left. All the work is paying off and he is impressing some important people, with Arsenal reported to be interested in the Werder Bremen man. They will not be the last.
