The key for winning or losing this World Cup is largely depending on just ONE THING!!! It's not who we have on the team. It's not the formation. It's not the technical skills. It's not the physical condition of the players.

It's THE OUTFIT!

Klinsmann likes the red outfits and therefore wants to play with them as often as possible. I personally prefer the traditional white outfits.

We won three WCs in white and statisically we won with them more games as compared to when we wore the red or black outfits.

Here an article to this EXTREMELY IMPORTANT issue:

Oh trust me my friend. So am I. The red ones are not quite as bad as the green outfits we once had (remember those????), YUK!!! But still, it HAS to be white for us to be able to win the WC! No doubt....

Juergen Klinsmann doesn't get it.

Shock.

Because Klinsmann didn't want the green ones or the anthrazit ones anylonger. (yeah, we had those ones as well)

Why the red? I guess scientists from Britain (alarm bells should ring right there) found out that red apparently is the color of winners. When they compared athletes during the 2004 Olympics, they chose four different categories: boxing, tae kwon doe, wrestling, and one other one I can't remember. They found out that athletes that wore red outfits won way more often than athletes that had other color shirts. Therefore the change in color for the DFB outfits.

My question is, if it was a British study, why the heck does England play in white then???? Very fishy, very fishy.....

I was afraid this would happen.

Haha, that's funny. Indeed England wore red jerseys when they won in 66.
They got away with a contraversial goal.

If the myth of red jersey rules, I wonder why Brazilians won in bright yellow and green; Argentinians in light blue and white stripes; Italians in royal blue; th French in blue and Germany in dazzling white.

I like green colour as the away jersey. The kinda green that Germany wore in Mexico 1986.

I completely agree, I was contemplating buying a red jersey but after the US game I bought a white one. WE MUST PLAY IN WHITE.

We had a long argument about this some time ago...it had to do with the relationship with the Irish and the Germans and it's a long, complicated story, but we like them enough so that we made their N'tl color into our away jersey.

Something like that

And yes, we will wear white, we won't wear red, why would we?
