Jurgen Klinsmann

A lot has happened since the summer of 2004. I was not even able to update this website since I’ve got the opportunity to coach the German National Team towards the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany. It is a big honor and a privilege to be the Coach of this team and I will do everything possible to help the team succeeding in the biggest football event of the world.

I hope to see you in Germany in 2006?

Is FIFA Sensor Ready?

19 years ago in News & Features

FIFA World Cup Goal Line Technology There is discussion flying around whether FIFA should use technology to determine or help goal decisions. I don’t think the discussion should revolve around whether FIFA is going to use the technology but it’s more of when?

Talks about the technology intensified after France-South Korea game wherein France’s shot appeared to be valid but the referee’s judgement called it otherwise.

Rooney’s 2000th Goal

19 years ago in News & Features

For the first time Wayne Rooney is going to be in the starting lineup of Sven’s squad hoping to get past Sweden as Sven confirmed. He will replace Peter Crouch, who was booked against Paraguay, as Michael Owen’s partner in attack. In today’s game, I have a very strong feeling that Rooney is going to get FIFA’s 2000th point in the England vs Sweden game wherein the goal total is at

The penalty that Fernando Torres struck home to give Spain a 3-1 victory over Tunisia in Stuttgart last night was goal number 1,991. Today’s earlier matched have increased the goal total to 1,997 which means England and Sweden just needs to score three goals to close or surpass the total today.

Goalies’ Technological Fear

19 years ago in News & Features

The first game sent out a red alert warning to all goalies that a one month nightmare is in sight when Germany’s Torsten Frings fired a cannon ball like shot from 40 meters to score a goal. The match ended 4-2 with a total of 6 goals; which broke the opening salvo record total that stood for more than 40 years.

The strikers are the biggest threat to goalies, combine it with a technologically superior ball plus a lightweight boot similar to what Rooney wears then you have a nightmare game after game.

Adidas altered the standard 26 or 32 panels of Football balls and instead created Teamgeist with 14 panels. Ken Bray, a sports scientist at the University of Bath in England says the ball behaves similar to a baseball.

World Cup Naked Bet

19 years ago in Games, betting & entertainment/News & Features

Vincent over at Microsoft Weblog sent me an email this morning about a website who is aiming to reach 1 million users — and the price is a naked woman.

In Vincent’s mail:

Have you guys heard of the Fuss Ball Berlin?
A german guy and his girlfriend have a bet. She will get naked in the world cup final play when his website has 1 million visits until 8th july 2006.

It could be fake but it’s worth a try;)

Are you going to buy into this?

Someone f**k* U.S.

19 years ago in News & Features

Aaron over at Technosailor sent me a link with this message:

“Thought this was telling and pretty much summed up my feelings.”

In an excerpt of the story here:

Today was supposed to be the day U.S. Soccer shined against a world powerhouse in the 2006 World Cup. Today was the day they figured they would prove themselves again of the quality progress that has occurred since their quarterfinal finish in 2002. What do we get leading up to this day?

We got to see arrogance, not confidence. We got to hear how any of our players can play in any other league. We got to hear the great Damarcus Beasley moan about Bruce Arena not picking a starting lineup weeks before the first game. Might as well put Terrell Owens and Keyshawn Johnson on the field.

What did we get during the game?

Swedish Dispute

19 years ago in News & Features

Ahmed Bilal over at Soccerlens sent me a post about the what’s going on in the lockeroom of the Sweden national team after their tied game against Trinidad and Tobago.

This is rumor and I would ask you guys to take it as it is. This is the World Cup, emotions are rising to astronomical levels and so stories like this could be true.

In an excerpt of the story found here:

“It´s not the tactics, it´s the lack of creativity that denies us the goal”, Mellberg says as he looks at Ljungberg.

The Swedish captain is just about to walk pass Freddy to the right (seen from the door) when the Arsenal player “jumps” up and snubs:

“What the f**k are you trying to say with that? Perhaps you should think about your own game and keep the ball simple by the ‘wings’ instead of your ‘balloonshots’.”

I would not be surprised at all if this players have some misunderstanding after a loss. I just hope they sort it out pretty quick and get their acts together because the tied game against T&T does not look good going into their next matches.
