nuune Posted June 25, 2010 Maradona again, and again, full entertainment! World Cup 2010: Diego Maradona to keep José Mourinho 'by his bedside' • Maradona to consult Mourinho over tactics • Messi ready to end comparisons with me, says Maradona Diego Maradona says he may turn to José Mourinho for managerial tips as he prepares Argentina for the World Cup's knockout stages. The Argentina manager said he keeps Mourinho's telephone number "on his bedside" and that he has asked the Portuguese for tactical advice in the past. "I like Mourinho a lot. I've got his phone number, I might call him," Maradona said. "We spent hours talking about football, attacking and defensive tactics. He seemed to me a guy to take to your bedside table and ask him each time you need something." Maradona would, however, prefer that his team do not adopt the kind of safety-first tactics that Mourinho used win the European Cup with Internazionale last month. "No, not that. But it worked for him, right? He won the Champions League," he said. Maradona added that Lionel Messi, who turned 23 today, was by some distance the best player at this World Cup. "I have not seen a player at this World Cup who is even 30% [as good as] Messi," he said. "Maybe I will be called arrogant but I've not even seen a player who is 30% of Carlitos [Carlos Tevez]. I love my team." Maradona believes Messi is ready to end comparisons between them. "I think he's there," said the 1986 World Cup winner. "I believe he's broken the mould and is ready, let's end the comparisons. Leo is ready to go out on to a pitch and leave it [the tournament] with the crown." "Making Messi happy is everyone's pride, including his team-mates'. Because today you see Messi pulling a joke on [Javier] Pastore, on [Ariel] Garcé and he has never met them before in his life. "And he talks to [Juan Sebastián] Verón and I spy on them: La Bruja [the Witch] is an intellectual of football, because he knows much more of football than Leo, but they start talking about it and the b*astard answers back."

Mesut Ozil born in Germany to German born Turkish parents. #1. Serdar Tasci born in Germany to German born Turkish parents. #9. Marko Marin was born in Bosnia and has Bosnian parents but I don't know whether he's a Muslim or not. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Lily- Posted June 25, 2010 And all the black players on the England team are descendants of Queen Victoria? A German team without Turks/Polish or any of the former members of Yuguslavia would be unrepresentative. I am surprised that there are not more players of Russian origin since lots of Germans are also half-Russian. Hales, you failed to add that “Sami Khedira, Mario Gomez, Jerome Boateng, and Dennis Aogo are all the sons of German mothers and immigrant fathers” Ozil and Serdar Tasci are both born in Germany to 3rd & 2nd generation Turks. Of course talented players with German citizenship would find their way into the national team, otherwise the “Nazi” nation comments would have been all over the place.

Allamagan Posted June 25, 2010 During the DDR era, universities in Dresden, East Berlin and Rostock were full with considerable amount of polish, cuban, russian, yemeni, romenian, bulgarian, africans students Incl. somalis, eritreans & ethiopians. As a result of that lots of children were produced there and they are there today. On the other side of the wall, then West Germany there were hundreds of thousands of american/france/british armies stationed there doing nothing but making love with the locals Forget about the italians and the turks. So I wouldn't surprise if I see a german/conglese or German/yemeni or german/italiano or german/somali player in the german squad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
