And thanks for the links. 'Jogi Löw still has difficulties remembering Marko Marin’s first name and likes to refer to him as Markus.' This actually makes me smile for some reason. When I was in secondary school, my home economics teacher just can't seem to pronounce the name of one of my classmates. We have someone in the class who is called Gerard but she kept calling him Gerald during lessons for reasons I cannot figure out. The class tried to correct our teacher but in vain.

Mertesaker and Borowski are one thing... My favorite part about the basketball story is that Trochowski is one of the especially good players. Mertesaker and Borowski are one thing…

It's interesting what Google can handle and what it can't. "Natürlich haben wir uns darüber unterhalten, was von mir gewünscht und verlangt wird." turned into "Of course, we discuss what I wanted and demanded." so it somehow got the passive, but not the perfect tense. (It also just omits modals, which is odd.) That translation (if we can call it that) is amazing.
