Cruelly overlooked again.Cacau, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Sven Bender and Julian Draxler have all been left out of Joachim Löw's 23-man selection for Euro 2012..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

Paul McShane is going to the Euros.
I'm throwing out my tv today.
KEVIN Foley's Euro 2012 dreams were shattered today when he was left out of the Republic of Ireland's final squad because of injury, Giovanni Trapattoni has confirmed.
The Wolves defender's place will be taken by Paul McShane, who is in Italy with the party after being drafted in as defensive cover amid a series of fitness concerns.
Foley reported with a hamstring problem and has been working ever since in an effort to shake it off, but this morning, he became the second man to be sent home following Birmingham midfielder Keith Fahey's departure at the weekend.
Trapattoni said: "Although Kevin has been recovering well, I have made the difficult decision to leave him out of the 23-player list after completing fitness tests on John O'Shea and Paul McShane this morning.
"I have spoken to him and understand how difficult it is, saying that he can remain with the squad if he wishes."
Ironically, Foley trained at the Stadio Comunale Alberto Benedetti in Borgo A Buggiano last night, while McShane did not after suffering a bruised heel during Saturday's 1-0 friendly victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Dublin.
However, the inclusion of goalkeeper Shay Given*and defender O'Shea, who have both been nursing injuries in the last week, suggests Trapattoni is confident they will both be fit in time for the opening fixture at the finals against Croatia on June 10.
Trapattoni said: "With the injuries that we experienced in the squad over the past week, I have had to make a tough decision when it comes to naming the 23 players that must be submitted to UEFA for the championship.
"Kevin Foley, John O'Shea, Paul McShane, Darren O'Dea, Shay Given had all been carrying knocks and we have been monitoring them closely in their recovery."
The Republic play a Tuscan Select XI in a friendly in Pistoia this evening on a day when they and the inhabitants of Montecatini, the Italian spa town where they have based themselves for this week's training camp, felt the tremors from this morning's earthquake around 50 miles to the north.

I'll be off to the Euros in the 11th. Delighted i'm going to Poznan & Gdansk as oppose to other side of Poland or god forbid the Ukraine!
IMO it's between Spain,Germany & Holland. We'll be lucky to get out of our group, Spain i have no doubts will be a mauling but Ireland are well capable of taking points off Croatia & Italy. Should be good craic anyways.
P.S. The fact that Paul McShane is going to play in the Euro 2012 is bleedin ridiculous. Actually the fact that he plays professional football in general is pretty ridiculous. Absolute Carthorse!Comment

Nazi flags are visible at every game in England, according to some Ukrainian on the BBC story.

I was bemused at the part in that documentary where he tells a Ukrainian he saw them doin Nazi saluts and then the guys response was something along the lines of "nah they were just pointing at the other team with their right hand. is not nazi"
how dumb do they actually think other nationalities are?Y.N.W.A!!!!!!
