I've been looking forward to this for months.

The German team is going to look much different this year, with a really young team (basically the majority under 21). However, I think as long as Lehmann and Kahn can stand on their head.... we will be fine.

Plus, they've added Odonker out of nowhere, who is supposedly an amazing athlete.... albeit with little experience.
