Angela Merkel and Wolfgang Niersbach,
German National Ministers of Fun.
Yes, its a few years away still, but we love international football tournaments! Now that the Olympics are over, we look forward to the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany. The Germans have announced the 9 city sites so you can make your plans now.
*Steffi Jones, who fans of 1.FFC Frankfurt and Washington Freedom will remember, is President of the Organizing Committee.
* The other announcement of consequence is that FIFA has decided to keep the participating team number to 16, instead of raising it to 24 teams. Given the German's 11-0 victory over Argentina in the 2007 World Cup, team parity may not be an issue yet!
*If you're wondering why this matters, qualification presumably starts in 2009 in Europe and 2010 in North America. Stay tuned!
