A lot has happened since the summer of 2004. I was not even able to update this website since Iâ€™ve got the opportunity to coach the German National Team towards the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany.

“Ronaldo Is Axed!” is the headline we should be reading in the coming days. Ronaldo’s star status should no longer be used as a reason to keep him on the field. He is obviously fat and making people sick. I have nothing against him, in fact I like the guy so much and have followed him throughout his career.

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.
