A global journey…

It was the goalkeeping battle we thought would never end, but Jurgen Klinsmann has finally decided he prefers Jens Lehmann to Oliver Kahn. After a long and not particularly pleasant battle, Klinsmann has announced that Lehmann will start Germany's first World Cup fixture against Costa Rica on June 9th, while Kahn will sit on the bench.
I'm guessing Lehmann's recent form tipped the balance. His performances for Arsenal, especially in the Champions League, have been magnificent.

This season, Jens Lehmann is in superb form for his club Arsenal both in the premeir league and Champions League. He has become a matured goal keeper and age is in his side too. No wonder, Jurgen Klinsmann has selected him. The only thing goes against him is that he does not play in Germany but he is in english league.
