World Cup countdown - T minus 39: Lukas Podolski
May 1st, 2006 | by Klaus Holzapfel |
One of the German hopefuls is Lukas Podolski from Cologne. He is only 20 years old but is already legend on and off the court. His one-liners in strong Cologne dialect are his trademark.
His is also a sharp shooter on the pitch as the video clip shows. Beware of the long intro - the action is a bit hidden behind it.
There is not a whole lot of World Cup fever going on in Los Angeles (yet 
). But I know it is coming soon. I am using the Basketball playoffs as a warmup. They help me to get into my “two games per day can not be disturbed rythm”. I’ll be prepared.
What a shame that Wayne Rooney got injured yesterday. That is a major blow to the English team. We want the best players in Germany; not on crutches at home.
