olafgb posted a lot of good info on his forum, but he posted once on 18 Oct., and before that on 31 July. See: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/search.php?searchid=456625
He has a job now. He told me that he hasn't much time anymore to post on Bigsoccer. But yeah, i miss the good old days too .
This guy is still alive. Studying is over, I'm working in a regular profession and next to this I'm occupied with managing a women's soccer team in the 2nd Bundesliga (FC Gütersloh 2000, of course - www.fcg-damen.de). My leisure time is pretty limited because of this and bigsoccer suffers... I honestly got to say that I'm not even able to watch a lot of men's soccer anymore. Yet I'm still available for any question, just send an email.
Good luck to the young German girls in the U19 final. Could be a double for the gals (WC and U19 WC). They got by their main obstacle (the USA) today. I think my Cdn girls will be the only team to take points off the German girls.
