Franz is a busy boy

First Der Kaiser is unhappy with Klinsmann’s non-decision as to who should be between the posts for Germany this summer. Next, he proclaims Hiddink to be a soccer genius. And finally, he goes out on a limb and predicts that Germany will survive group play. He does try to get back into my good graces by agreeing with me that Brazil are the favorites this summer. But he tempers his prediction by reminding us that, like yours truly, he thought France and Argentina would meet in championship game before the last World Cup.
