		<description>Nice post. Btw were aware that the ancient Olympics captured the imaginations of the Greeks for more than a millennium until a Christianized Rome put a stop on the competitions in the fourth century AD. But the Olympic ideal did not die. Anyways which country do you think will win the maximum gold medals?</description>

		<description>Thanks for those comments. I hadn't seen that from Schalke, jan. And Simon, I guess that makes sense from Barcelona. They could come off looking rosy with a "grand gesture" in letting him stay.
Clement, I agree that Werder in particular would be running a huge risk. I'm not sure how long they can expect to keep Dieg anyway.</description>

		<description>The bigger question is, would you even want to continue playing for a club that has not allowed you to represent your country on the global stage. This is something that obviously means a lot to these players and part of the responsibility of a club is to keep their players happy.</description>
