Lol English press starts pretty early this time
Furor Teutonicus:
in every world cup it's the same, the English press needs to distract from their loser squad with some dubious Nazi comparisons. Seriously, they need to swallow their envy and thoughts of revenge,its becoming ridiculous.
Anyway, see you brits in South Africa. We'll meet pretty early in the tournament, maybe you can overcome your inferiority-comlex then :laugh: But don't rely on penalty kicks too much :D
GERMANY is set to kick up a Reich stink at the World Cup by playing in Nazi-style black shirts.
They will first wear them in friendlies and then against Ghana at the South Africa finals.
Kit-makers claim the outfits will symbolise team spirit. But critics blasted the move as a goose-step too far.
The strip, created by German firm adidas, resembles the first-ever colours worn by a German national team in 1898.
But they are sure to also conjure up memories of the notorious SS, who terrorised Europe during the war. Hitler's personal protection squad wore a jet black uniform.
The name Blackshirts was also used by Italian dictator Mussolini's henchmen and Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists.
Bricklayer Michael Hayes, 28, from Bromley, south London, said: "Last time they wore black shirts they wanted world domination then as well, so I supp-ose it's appropriate.
"It might raise a few eyebrows from my grandad's generation."
The kit was yesterday modelled by Germany captain and Chelsea star Michael Ballack, 33, but the first strip is still white.
Adidas said: "Eleven stripes are sewn into the shirt to symbolise team spirit."
:laugh:

Our press is fucking stupid. Pay it no mind. Half the time they just criticise our own team never mind anyone else's. This'll be from The Sun I suspect.
