Let the Three-Year countdown to the 2010 World Cup begin
It was almost exactly a year ago that Philipp Lahm scored
the first goal of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Today, he is in South
Africa hammering nails and making sure that the stadiums get built on
time since it is exactly three years from today that the first game will
kick off. Talk about a hard working dude. And you thought all he did was
sit around playing video games. Actually, Lahm was there as part of a
delegation of players from the Bundesliga as part of a goodwill/branding
tour to help everyone get fired up about the 2010 World Cup. Owen Hargreaves
was a no show much like his England team was in 2006.
