Ascona Diary: Jogi’s got a Temper
At least UEFA thinks so and decided to ban Joachim Löw and his Austrian colleague Joseph Hickersberger for one match, following their comedy moment in Monday’s match. One match bans can’t be appealed and neither were either of the two coaches questioned about the incident. Instead UEFA trusted the referee’s account. Manuel Mejuto, the ref [...]
Translate this: Jogi’s Sign Language
Jogi Löw obviously had to explain himself to the press after the Croatia game. Apart from promising a different German side against Austria, and stating the obvious - “All the things we did well against Poland were conspicuous by their absence against Croatia.” - he also provided a more in depth analysis with the above [...]
Ascona Diary: Bungee Jumping Journalists
Here’s a short and quick pre-match round up of training camp related news.
As you can see from the photo, the players are having fun - lots of fun - during training. Though, given that those photos come from the few sessions, where the team opens up to the press, it could just as well all [...]
Ascona Diary: The Lago Embargo
The German national team had promised to go into hiding in their base-camp and they kept their word.

Ascona Diary: Of Vegetarian Nudists and Oliver Neuville
The German national team have arrived at their Euro base-camp in the small Swiss town of Ascona, where they’ll hopefully reside up until the very end of the tournament.

Mallorca Diary 31.05.08
The training camp in Mallorca is over and it’s time for a last round up of all the news, which came out of Spain over the last few days.
Joachim Löw has received some negative press following his Euro squad “casting”, with the journalists questioning whether it was necessary to pick 26 instead of 23 players [...]
Marin, Helmes and Jones get the Axe
The news are out and Marko Marin, Patrick Helmes and Jermaine Jones were sent back home.
So much for all the Marin superstar hype, his promising performance in yesterdays friendly and the praise Löw had for his little one. Helmes, Jones and Marin were the players with the least experience in the national team, and [...]
10 Conclusions: Germany 2-2 Belarus
1. There’s still some work to do. I expected tired legs and a slower pace, but not necessarily sloppy and careless defending. Belarus deserved to draw the game.
2. Something must have been lost in translation between what Belarus’ German coach Bernd Stange told the German press and what he told his players. He had promised [...]
