BTW, that bold part reminds me of a joke that came out after the WC 2002 when Kahn became legend and title defender France went home early after a horrible display. You might already know it, but I'll tell you again since it is funny:
After the WC 2002, there's a Germany-France friendly. Before the game starts, Olli Kahn tells his team mates in the locker room that they could go ahead to the pub, since he'll be able to deal with the French on his own. He'd catch up with them later. It sounded reasonable, so they all went to the nearest pub to have a beer or two (or three). After some time, the players ask the barkeeper that he should check the score of the game. He tells them that it's 1-0 for France and the game was already in the 85th minute. The team is shocked...how could that be? So they hurry back and arrive at the stadium after the game is already over and it had indeed ended 1-0 for France. In the locker room, the team mates find Kahn with his face in his hands...a complete wreck...so they ask him what happened and with a tiny voice, Olli answers "This fcuking ref sent me off after 15 minutes..."
