Michael, I just got back from Germany yesterday. It was great to see the wonderful, positive attitude from all of my German colleagues. Everyone is very proud of their nation.
I think it will be very difficult for any team to beat Germany in this Cup.
Like I said, Germany is finally a normal nation - we got over problems with patriotism. Hope you enjoyed your stay, at least you had good weather. Did you have the chance to walk at the Rhine river? That´s my favourite place: sitting at the bank promenade and have a beer (or a Radler) with friends.
