BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Chelsea Clinton (L) and former US President Bill Clinton watch as US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) speaks at the National Building Museum in Washington June 7, 2008. Clinton endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) to be the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate on Saturday and suspended her own White House bid less than a week after the Illinois senator secured enough support to win the nomination. Clinton's endorsement of Obama in a speech at the National Building Museum marked the beginning of efforts to reunite the Democratic Party after a long and divisive campaign battle that ended on Tuesday when Obama won the support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

Quotes about Jens Lehmann
We were insecure ... It got a bit better in the second half and we took our chances, but (goalkeeper) Jens (Lehmann) kept us alive with his experience.

Well I won't have any bits of paper tucked away [with a list of who aims where] like [Jens] Lehmann had at the World Cup ... All that matters is that we win, with or without penalties, both for ourselves and for Ecuador.

Is there a problem with referees in the Bundesliga? Or is the problem quite literally in Jens Lehmann’s head?

We are examining the evidence and looking at the match video of the incident ... On Monday, we will decide whether to investigate the matter further with Jens Lehmann.

The young are supposed to be irresponsible and the old are expected to show wise leadership. But at Arsenal it is the other way round - and in a game which encapsulated the Gunners' season, Jens Lehmann and Cesc Fabregas demonstrated how they both defy the stereotypes.

A competition with Jens Lehmann was proclaimed that, to my eyes, he couldn’t win ... The same was true with [defender] Christian Woerns who, in contrast to Christoph Metzelder, stayed true to one team and wasn’t sitting on the bench.

Experienced national players deserve at least some respect and loyalty ... I think there were cases in the past - for example Oliver Kahn - who was put in competition with Jens Lehmann which, in my eyes, he (Kahn) could never win. Or Christian Woerns who played previously in the same position as Christoph Metzelder.

Hello Stevo mate, went for a job interview yesterday and got the job, now the guy wants me to work today 6 till 10. What am I supposed to do?

Users of the BBC Sport Player Rater are tough mistresses indeed. Not a single Germany player has made the top 10 of the tournament so far - even though the team has reached the final. Spain's David Villa is ranked third with an average of 8.13, although he is set to miss out with injury. Fernando Torres is ninth with 7.57. Lukas Podolski is the top German with 7.40.

Stevo, GREAT excitement here. Expats in full Spanish kit and waiting for the unbelievable screaming, car honking and fireworks when we win. Will be a tougher test than Russia, but, Fabregas - the difference in semis - could help the team do it. General disregard for Arrogantes [sic] - but if they win, will be forgotten. PODEMOS!!

Can anyone help? I'm stuck on who to support! Spain, the country of my second language, or Germany, home to my future hubby, Podolski? Ideas Stevo?
