The german from german cousin comes from the latin germen who kinda designates blood relation. (romans used frater germanus to designate real brothers as opposed to frater uterinus for brother by the mother only) The spanish hermano (brother) comes from this latin word. It has nothing to do with Germany. (unless romans used to think the germans were all related by blood, I don't know) German cousins are persons who have at least one common grandparent. So it includes all your "normal" cousins (born from the same pairs of grandparents) and the possible descendants of your parents stepbrothers / stepsisters. "cousin issu de germain" (cousins born from german ? Dunno if the expression exists in english) are person with at least one great grandparent in common.

Makes sense--the same lineup as against Slovakia, I believe. I'll go out on a limb and predict no penalties. I'll also predict a very exciting game.
