German Coach Dislikes Small Stadiums


Joachim LoewGermany manager Joachim Loew has spoken out over the small-sizes stadiums being used for Euro 2008, including the 32,000 capacity Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt which plays host to Germany’s games against Croatia and Poland.

As it stands, the German FA have been given a ticket supply of just 6,000 for both games and Loew anticipates “tens of thousands” of German fans will be crossing into Austria to see their country in action on the pitch.

It is not good that some stadiums for this European Championships have a small capacity.

You would think that after hosting the World Cup in 2006 that Germany would be in no position to complain, but complain they will. The two biggest stadiums in the competition, the Ernst Happel Stadion (Vienna) and the upgraded St. Jakob-Park (Basle) will be used by Austra and Switzerland for their group games as well as sharing the quarter finals, semi finals and final (Vienna).

What’s the saying about a good work man not blaming his tools?
