The German captaincy saga, threatening to derail a nation if simply through the wrath of Michael
Ballack, will not be allowed its due end, though Jogi may be trying.
Jogi has declared that Michael Ballack is very much Germany's captain, which would normally put
the kibosh on matters. However, he hasn't been called up and has declared that if he is called up
in the future, his place on the pitch will be occupied by someone else.
Tottenham pulled off arguably the best transfer deadline deal on Tuesday, landing Dutch

Die Spieler des FC Bayern München waren schon besser in Form – beispielsweise am Ende der
vergangenen Spielzeit, als man die Deutsche Meisterschaft und den DFB-Pokal gewann und zudem noch
im Finale der Champions League (0:2 gegen Inter Mailand) stand. In die neue Spielzeit sind die
