"President Gauck lays down a wreath for the Brazilian victims of 08/07/2014"

Article goes on to talk about the cruelty of the German side, with Gauck stressing the German responsibility for the tragedy.

A small report on the Micronesian team that we talked about the other day:

Micronesia coach Stan Foster admits some of their players may need counselling after conceding 114 goals in three games without scoring one at the Pacific Games.

    The Australian took a team of teenagers to the tournament for Under-23 players and lost 46-0 to Vanuatu, ranked 200th in the world. Halfway through their second group game, they put a midfielder in goal - and he stayed in for the final match.

    They avoid a place in the record books for biggest international defeats as they are not affiliated with Fifa.

    "Possibly [they'll need counselling], but they're young, they're resilient. Most of them had never been out of their village until we went to Guam as part of our build-up to the Games," Foster told ABC.

    "Most of them had never been on an escalator and I had to show them how to use one."

Hey the USA won its first match in the CONCACAF championship. USA! USA! USA!

Co-Host Canada, not so lucky, because they are only slightly better than Micronesia.

Canada would probably draw 0-0 to micronesia

Schweinsteiger is going to Manchester Utd. The Bayern Munich fans are less than thrilled. In fact, they're pretty pissed. He's been on the first team since 2002, and a total of 17 years with Munich.

This should be cassus belli for war between the cities to settle the issue!!

The Messi photo is almost a year old, still funny though

The girl in blue is obviously photoshopped to be in Ronaldo's lap. She's actually Messi's wife and was sat next to him in the original picture.
