Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

1. none of them is 100% Polish or else they couldn't play for another country
2. The region they were born used to be part of Germany
3. They have German ancestors (Podolski's grandparents, Trochowski's grandparents, Klose's father)
4. They were raised in Germany (Podolski and Trochowski more than Klose)
5. All of them starting playing football in Germany


1. Absolutely not true. Pretty much everyone has double nationality in that part of Poland, be they mixed or not. Moreover, you can get German nationality after 6 years of living in Germany, you don't need any connection to the country or nation.
2. This region used to be a part of Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, France and Russia - doesn't change much :P
3. While Klose probably does (it is a German name after all), Trochowski is purely Slavic and his grandparents only were German from the legal point of view,  I believe the same is true for Podolski. Don't know about Trochowski, but Podolski isn't hiding the fact that he feels Polish. Klose prefers to be considered German though.
4. Doesn't matter.
5. Doesn't matter :P



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Switzerland has an interesting play style. They play like they want to be a top class team. But they aren't so they fail. Nice to look at though.
