Germany - China

After a 1:2 defeat against Turkey four days ago, the German national football team barely got away against China (1:0) after a penalty in the second half time, today. And the better chances were for the Chinese.

So, the Dutch secured their participation for the final round, next year in Germany, and the Germans themselves, well .... they must be getting pretty nervous by now. After all, the last time the Dutch participated in a football tournament in Germany, in 1988, they won.

An excellent situation; I will be able to face my German colleagues with full confidence until the start of the tournament, ha!

By the way, the China Daily is also interested in Dutch football ... or in the wives of the football players. Anyway, as today's most important sports news they announced that Van der Vaart's wife was voted Bundesliga's prettiest woman So, if the Dutch players won't impress their opponents next year, their wives might.
