Germany have a mountain to climb

February 6, 2008

I couldn’t resist this one. Check out the video above, with a report from Joanna Partridge, for a look at Germany’s unusual preparations for their assault on the Alpine nations of Switzerland and Austria next year.

Michael Ballack looks pretty good in that garb. Maybe he could think about a career in Hollywood when his ankles finally give out…

Comments

Germans love wearing costumes, they went crazy this week celebrating Carnaval… I think the team probably had a big party dressed up like in the advert after their victory against Austria.
