BobBev Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 I was doing a bit of tidying and found this old save so I thought that I would resurrect it briefly. June saw Germany in action twice in quick succession, the first match coming at home to group leaders Serbia & Montenegro. With Stephan Tingler, Mirko Dickhaut and Christian Stuff all injured Stefan searched high and wide for some suitable replacements. He eventually decided on a recall for Ufuk Cicek and the inclusion of the uncapped Kai Achilles and Wolfgang Bach. In the approach to the game he also lost the services of Dennis Puhl and he decided to include youngster Klaus Beer as a replacement. An unexpectedly good performance ended in a 1-1 draw, much to the manager’s surprise. A midweek trip to Cyprus followed and with Beer getting sent off near the end the game finished in a highly satisfactory 2-1 defeat. With all hopes of qualification now gone, Stefan put on a brave face as he removed his bandages nad faced the press back at home. “With a little more good fortune we could easily have won both of these games and kept our hopes of qualification alive, but I was nonetheless encouraged by what I saw. Bach conducted the midfield with great vision, Beer was strong and has a good head, Quack ruffled a few feathers, Kuntz showed signs of a Brazilian, Dick stood up well, Wurm dug deep and Willi held his own. If you want to criticise then Butt was iffy, Rhode was rocky and Achilles looked vulnerable but overall I am very optimistic for the future.†Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBev Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks chaps Going Undercover As Germany’s spectacularly unsuccessful World Cup qualification programme moved into its final stages, Stefan announced the squad for the forthcoming matches against Wales and Malta. “I believe that one of the problems that we have had in our qualifying group is that our opponents have been too familiar with the players in the squad and therefore I am taking steps to make my team selection much more of a surprise. The identity of the players will be hidden by scrambling their names to make other words, anagrams if you like. So here is the starting eleven for the game against Wales.†GK - Encamping Katherine DR - Hobnail Snatch DL - Cochineal Franks DC - Airfield Muncher DC - Rodney Horn MR - Readiest Lesbians ML - Mim Antichrist MC - Kissable Ethan MC - Rink Scaler FC - Alderman Hansen FC - Barium Jeanne “I am also taking the unusual step of naming my selection for the trip to Malta at this time.†GK - Hatless Smoker DR - Renal Skinhead DL - Fat Sunbeam DC - Secondhand Berliner DC - Distant Harebrain MR - Urea Pilfer ML - Rim Coacher MC - Fran Basinet MC - Clambake Cahill FC - Maharani Butts FC - Oscar Thrum “And to complete the element of surprise every player in the squad will travel and play in disguise so that their identities are not revealed.†Returning to Germany after two good wins, Stefan was horrified to find out that it was still mathematically possible for his team to finish second in the group and get into the playoffs. Putting a brave face on matters he faced the press to discuss the previous two games. “You can see just how successful my latest subterfuge has been with our last two results. The Welsh players clearly had no idea that Rink Scaler was really Lars Ricken – the nose/glasses/moustache combination really had them fooled – and he benefited by scoring a hat trick. Similarly the blackened teeth and long ginger beard work by Barium Jeanne kept Benjamin Auer’s identity a secret, allowing him to score twice. We had similar success in Malta with the Gerhard Schroeder mask worn by Clambake Cahill disguising the fact that he was really Michael Ballack. This was instrumental in his two goals I believe. As was the nun’s habit and Ronaldo teeth sported by Oscar Thrum, or Marcus Roth as we know him, allowing the striker to score twice as well.†Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
