  Good stuff. I’m surprised Klose is still standing today.

  He is not exactly standing anymore, the two tackles by Naldo have left their marks on Klose’s knee and he will miss the friendly against England on Wednesday.

  C) Naldo’s Farewell to Klose

  Naldo was clearly interested in injuring Klose. He should’ve been given a second yellow and sent off for the second tackle. I wish the DFB would review the match.

  Yikes. I was only kidding about Klose standing. Apparently Naldo was not.

  Juliet: I really should have included that one as well. I added it now.:-)

  Although I believe Klaus Allof’s who said that Naldo is out of form and didn’t do it on purpose. And Klose played it down as well. Still amazing how he got out of that match with just one yellow card.
