Kahn Cool With WC Relief Role
(Soccer365.com) - Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn has reacted positively to Jürgen Klinsmann’s declaration that Arsenal man Jens Lehmann will be Germany’s starter at World Cup this summer.
"I've come to the conclusion that it's important for the national team for me to be there, despite my disappointment," he told reporters. "This can't be about personal vanity."
"Jürgen has made his decision and I accept it," stated Kahn, captain of the 2002 runners up side. "The team, including Jens Lehmann, will have my full support."

I think Klinsmann is a complete moron. Kahn is the best keeper in the world, and if Germany sucks it up, it'll all because of that jack***.
I mean.. this is rediculous. Germany is my team- but if they are going to put some dufus retard in the goal, instead of ONE OF THE BEST KEEPERS EVER, then forget that.
My heart is still with them- but my brain is not feeling that crap.

The Wrath of Kahn has been relegated to a wimper.
Lehmann has been pretty solid for Arsenal this year (in Europe at least).

Um, settle down Beast. If you haven't noticed Germany has 2 of the best keepers in the world. Kahn, aka the Beastmaster, is getting older... he's still a very good keeper, but if you haven't seen what Lehmann has been up to for Arsenal, then you haven't been paying attention. what a luxury Germany have in goal! so quit complaining.
