It should be a lot of fun. It will be interesting to see how everything plays out with the changes to the squad. I am really going to miss Schneider. I am looking forward to it.

Given we have it in the house and subscribed to it (it's a one-off package for the tournament, just like during the World Cup), I am only just waiting now...

I know that Gol is showing a few of the preliminary matches so I am anxious to see those as well. Here's hoping Germany has a spectacular run! I am glad you both liked the post :)

Some were really drab (like the goalless draw in Ireland which eventually saw Germany through to Euro 2008 and the final qualifier against Wales). I think it was just last week or something that the first qualifier against Ireland was on pay-TV here (there has been a series of programmes leading up to the tournament and showing some of the past qualifiers is among those). I watched it for some old times' sake. :) And up till now, I can never forgive myself for not watching the first of the two qualifier against San Marino which ended up 13-0 (forgetting to watch given I slept past it because of time difference). Back then I know there will be goals against San Marino but I had never expected, 13. 'And then it was time. Germany vs Czech Republic. At this point in the tournament, both teams had 10 points with three wins and a draw each. Milan Baros scored for the Czech Republic and things seemed to become a little tense. Germany pushed through to win the match 2-1 with both points coming from Kevin Kuranyi.' For me, that match became the turning point on a personal scale. That was when I found myself finally accepting Jogi's credentials. During the World Cup, I only remembered him as the assistant to Klinsmann. Klinsmann has always been my favourite coach during the World Cup (and he was among the reasons why I am a Germany supporter since) and in the end, I realised I have to take some time before accepting his former assistant as well. I still remember I have to explain to my father of the 3-0 loss to the Czech Republic. Yeah, he was surprised at the loss and knowing I support Germany, asking me what really happened. I have to explain that it actually came after Germany has qualified. 'Hmm,can’t wait:)' Me too. :-) Wow Angela…now you make me remember on my own personal impressions of the qualifying matches.
