Germany UEFA U-17 Champions

The German U-17 defeated the Netherlands in extra time to capture both the UEFA U-17 European Championship title and the Fair Play Award. The tournament in Germany was the highest attended youth competition in recent memory and was capped by memorable performances from a dominant home side. Possible players of the tournament include Bienvenue Basala-Mazana, Christopher Buchtmann, and Mario Götze. Congratulations to the boys and to the coach Marco Pezzaiuoli. Maybe Löw can bring one of them along to the World Cup? Sammer is right we need to get use to winning like this. Next stop UEFA U-21 EM and the 2010 FIFA World Cup!
