At least they received definitive prove, that they've got to change things. Klasnic’s story is worth telling and Croatia probably helped England more than it hurt them.

Thanks. :-) 'Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer's heroics that first kept Schalke in the tie and then won it for them, immediately earned him a link with FC Barcelona.' And may I add, his heroics has also earned him a place in one of the newspapers I read over here on Thursday. ;) Yes, Neuer's heroics was also being noticed over here, Jan. I got a surprise when the newspaper have an article from Reuters in regards to Schalke beating Porto on penalties - http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-championsschalke_pix&prov=reuters&type=lgns I forgot what title did they used (different from the Reuters one) but it was definitely a surprise, given there was no preview to the match in the paper itself. The last time I got a surprise in terms of Bundesliga coverage over here was in December (this was before the winter break) about Ivan Klasnic returning from his kidney transplant and scoring two goals against Bayer Leverkusen (5-2 to Werder Bremen in the end). The article which the newspaper used then (I still keep it) - http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=afp-fblgercroklasnic&prov=afp&type=lgns I was being sceptical initially (though surprised) given Klasnic plays for Croatia...and it's Croatia which beat England at the Wembley and thus not making England qualifying for Euro 2008. I was thinking along the lines of how the papers here always follow England's fortunes at the international level (other than the Premier League). But still, a feel-good story. :D Coming from a country which does not have the TV coverage of the Bundesliga in the beginning...Singapore, that is.
