Vic, you mean French Canada. :-) And yes they did.

Radio-Canada will be featuring another WC report on Sat 18 June 4pm Est.; should be on their web page shortly after.

On this note, we have started to see also some WC commercials both on English and French TV channels, pretty exciting!

[hawk99]

Still have 1 Cat 1 ticket available for this game - anyone interested?

[Vic]

Yes French Canada. Great on them. I saw one of those Canadian commercials the other day too. Thought it was a little templated but hard to complain when it's so rare.

Good piece on the Angerer, Kulig and the Germans:

Didn't I see a link to an "article" on the Germans in the German Playboy somewhere? Yahoo's "Dirty Tackle" I think...

[cwntfan]

Yeah someone posted it on twitter yesterday. I really don't want to post the link though so if you find it do what you please.

[paul-collins]

No, not really. Just showing that the Germans are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to promotion... must've made ol' Sepp happy.

[Vic]

Just saw the link, reminds me of the German porn star "player" a while back. None of these players are on the national team. This week in England the cover scandal was Ryan Gigg's brother's ex-partner kiss-and-telling about the players she'd slept with, so the Germans are well above the baseline English trash.

Deutsche Welle has done their usual great work in a series on the German women this year:

The cultural adoption of women's soccer in Germany:
Women's football moves onside in German life

The increase of female fan-dom in Germany:
Female football fans claim vital ground in German stadiums

The German World Cup performance bonus plan:
Germany's female footballers celebrate higher bonus victory

Lesbians vs. gays in the German national teams:
Steeped in a man's sport, lesbian footballers fit the mold

[Vic]

German PR, press and promotion picking up hype as the tournament approaches.

Schwarzkopf Haircare has set a new standard for sponsors in terms of quality in promoting women's soccer. Yes, these are all players on the women's team.
