... what the heck is this?

The German team's preliminary nominations for the Euro are currently being broadcasted on TV, and supporting Spain seems more and more inviting to me, to be honest. *sigh*

Defense: Arne Friedrich, Christoph Metzelder, Clemens Fritz, Marcell Jansen, Per Mertesacker, Philipp Lahm, Heiko Westermann

Personally, I thought he was Valencia's best player this season.
You know the Primera División a bit better than I do, so reading your confirmation makes me feel even worse about the whole issue. *sigh* I really wonder what went on in Jogi's head. Apparently, the final decision was between Hildebrand and Enke, not Hildebrand and Adler, and I really wonder why Adler suddenly got a free ticket when he wasn't even being considered during the qualifiers and the friendlies so far. He played an awesome season, yes - as opposed to Manuel Neuer, who was being criticised on more than one occasion - but that shouldn't put him ahead of a player who has proved his value already. Of course, Lehmann is still #1, so I doubt Hildebrand would even have played in the Euro, but still. It's unfair to kick him out like that.

Tasci is injured at the moment. I don't know what exactly is wrong with him, but apparently, it was enough for Jogi not to appoint him.

I seriously hope he'll eliminate Jones in his final decision on May 28th, because in my opinion, that man does not belong in our national team. And if Schweini doesn't improve, he doesn't belong there either.

Klose has been rather unlucky lately, so I hope he'll get back into shape soon, but other than that, I have faith in our forwards, yes.

However, I still think Spain will be the team to beat!!! ♥
Yes. And I'll happily cheer for them and keep hoping they won't face Germany despite everything.

Trust me, Timo has been amazing for Valencia. And LOL - this is the first time I've ever noticed his personality. He's so funny - and has the loudest voice I've ever heard!!! ROFL.
But to get back to the subject - yeah. I don't understand the snub at all. And if I were to choose between Timo and Rene, then I would choose Timo for sure. Jens Lehmann makes me very, very nervous.

Serdar is injured? I wondered about that! OMG! I was lucky to be able to see an interview on 'Bundesliga Magazine' with Serdar and his 'best friend', Andreas Beck. And how cute were they together at this amusement park that is right near Stuttgart's stadium? OMG! So shy in front of the camera and so cute!!! I can't remember the name of the park - Vas, or something? But those two were like little kids. They go to that park, like, ALL THE TIME! And they even said they were best mates!!! ASDFGHJJKLZ!!!!

Oh yeah, I noticed that Klose just hasn't been the same this season. But I know he can improve!

OMG. Spain are amazing, but there could be some surprises, too! How about Croatia? They have amazing players. And the Russians are coming on so strong! Everybody's starting to take a better look at the Russian league because of Zenit's great run in the UEFA Cup.

Heee! I'm so glad you discovered Timo! He really is quite an amazing guy - not too fond of the media, but adorable. :D He even has his own website where he occasionally posts funny blog entries. (I suppose there isn't an English translation, though.)

Jens Lehmann makes me very, very nervous.
*sigh* Tell me about it.

Awww! That is cute. :D I don't know anything about that amusement park, but the fact that they go there very often and act like little kids makes me go awww. :D

I hope the Euro will bring Miro back to his old form, yes.

I don't know how Eduardo's injury will influence the Croatian team during the Euro, but I don't feel that strongly about them anyway. I agree about the Russians, though. We really need to watch them, they've been on their way up for quite some time with their sponsors and foreign coaches. One mustn't take them lightly. But again, I couldn't support them. (I need to be swept off my feet, and the Spanish managed to do that.)
