Angela, how about this on Jogi. I found this description in the newspapers here today (Friday).

‘Good-looking coach has a reputation for being innovative and tactically astute.’

I almost incurred the wrath of my sister as I was reading that. There was one section in the papers about the coaches for Euro 2008 and Jogi’s description…got me chuckling. The good-looking part, that is. My sister was nearby and she asked me what was going on!

[My UEFA Euro Cup Guide magazine says “The suave-looking gentleman in charge of the Germany national team looks more like a movie star than a coach”. So true, so true. ]

Couldn’t agree more!

‘“The suave-looking gentleman in charge of the Germany national team looks more like a movie star than a coach”. So true, so true.’
Intan, you just took the words out my mouth! There has been comparisons before that Loew looks like Tom Cruise.

This is Reuters’s impression of Loew (http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-eurogermanycoach&prov=reuters&type=lgns)...

‘Loew is Germany’s 10th coach and still has a far lower profile than his extrovert predecessor—Bob Paisley to Klinsmann’s Bill Shankly, if you like, although the scarf-wearing German is a nattier dresser than either.’

I have to admit but don’t know since when, I also try to notice of what he is wearing on matchdays. He really reminded me of a former Science teacher of mine (who is also a he) for some reason. Must be the wearing and the looks. But then I think Intan, what you found tops it all off.

Here’s hoping that the Germans would go out of Austria in a grand parade, celebration and all; grander than this one. (:

Harriet,
could it be because the politicilly somewhat obstinate Hongkong will soon be sold to Australia?

I don’t understand why my post says “Australia” when I’m in Hong Kong?
