Schweinsteiger  had an excellent Euro 04 looked the only German player who gave a damn.

Theo Walcott.

  Will come off the bench to score a dramatic winner for the Arse in the champions league final....Kluivert stylee, This leads to a dramatic call up to the England squad, after Owen fails to recover Rooney is injured, and Peter Crouch gets a higher calling from the Queen, for covert operations behind enemy lines in Iran

"Sebastien Schweinsteiger" is this kid any good?  I remember him being hyped up last time I saw him but he was very disappointing.

Very young in Euro 2004 but from what I saw of him he was by far the best German player out there although that doesn't say much.

Not sure what his form has been in the old German league this season mind.

Surely that is just a shortening?

I'll nominate Kerlon of Cruzeiro. Not sure if he'll be going as he is about 17, and been injured for much of the season...

Owen's plight opens door for Walcott

Michael Walker
Monday May 8, 2006
The Guardian

Sven-Goran Eriksson was at Arsenal's London Colney training ground on Saturday and had lunch with Arsène Wenger. Ostensibly the Swede was present at the training session earlier to check on Ashley Cole's fitness but in reality the England coach, for the third time in recent weeks, watched Theo Walcott train.

With Wayne Rooney almost certainly out and Michael Owen not even on Newcastle's bench yesterday, Eriksson has to think about striking alternatives. He saw Jermain Defoe score at West Ham but the news that Walcott has moved on to Eriksson's radar will stun many.

Article continues
The 17-year-old was bought from Southampton in January for £5m, rising to £12m, but he is yet to appear for Arsenal's first team. Eriksson is not regarded as a gambler but he gave Rooney a debut at 17 and has the weight of Wenger's words behind him should he choose even to place Walcott on stand-by. "If Sven calls me to ask should he take Walcott, I would not stop him," said Wenger. "Theo needs games but he has something very special. It would be a gamble but he is an option."

Eriksson names his provisional 27-man squad today and, even if Walcott is omitted, all coaches are allowed to make changes on medical grounds until June 9, the day before the World Cup starts.

That buys Eriksson time and Owen appears to need it. "Michael was not on the bench because he's not 100% happy," said Newcastle's caretaker manager Glenn Roeder after the 1-0 win over Chelsea. "There is still a dull ache but it's nothing serious. Until he's played a couple of games with no reaction it would only be natural to be concerned."

I watched Theo play for Southampton a few times this season before he joined the Arse and i gotta say he is an awsome player! Bloody small but christ he is quick and very skillful! Although he is young i really think he could hold his own at the world cup as backup!

Podolski has been hyped to the max over here, more than Ballack. He's currently at already relegated (bottom of the league) 1. FC Köln, what I've seen of him he looks good, but I think Germany are after a Rooney and are hyping their nearest equivalent.

Schweinsteiger reminds me of Brian Howard. Although he seems to run around a lot, doesn't look to have the end product (for an International).

Haven't really seen all that much Bundesliga since I've been here, not interested. Massive games in the 2. Bundesliga on Sunday. If results go the way I hope, Karlsruhe can get promoted and I can run on the pitch, in a foreign country, and pretend I know what's going on. Fingers crossed.

Auf geht's Karlsruh'

BVB beat the 'only' team in Franken the other week, bastards. It's all about Nürnberg. (and Karlsruher SC, even though I missed them win 7-0 on wedsnesday - since when do you play weekday games at 17:30? No wonder only 10,000 were there)
