Why no mention of Klose by anyone. Love him or hate him he scores
goals.

North Korea was able to score against them. Not to mention that they
are to be blamed for both Dutch goals.

: Why no mention of Klose by anyone. Love him or hate him he scores
: goals.

He has to have a good emotional support structure around him so maybe he
wouldn't perform in an all-star team. He doesn't do well with
unpredictable competition, such as he gets in his club (unpredictable
means one year on next you don't know who you're up against for your
position).
