Werder Bremen meets Dortmund in the DFB-Cup

Werder Bremen plays against Borrussia Dortmund @ the EasyCredit Arena in Dortmund in the DFB-Cup. Werders position, however, looks different: Werder is 2nd in the Bundesliga, Dortmund is 10th but Dortmund won against Werder 3:0 in the first game. It would be a good thing, if Dortmund wins, because they need the money for the still existing financial crisis. But my bet is Werder 3, Dortmund 1. Diego is going to score 2 more times.

South Africa flops in international reading skill test

Almost 80 % of Sout African elementary School students did not reach the lowest benchmark in an international test comparing the reading skills of children. South Africa was the country with the worst scoring out of 40 countries in the international reading literacy study, in which an average of just 6% did not reach the benchmark. In South Africa, about 30.000 4th and 5th graders from 400 schools were tested in all 11 official languages. The pupils in SA were tested in October 2005, just months after Tyobeka wrote a letter to elementary school principals admitting many South African children could not read "at all" and instructing principals to get teachers to teach reading. South Africas 4th graders scored 253 points, while 5th graders scored 302 Points. Children from the top scorer the Russia scored 565 points and the international average score was 500. "We perhaps were expecting to be below the international average, but not 250 points below it," Sarah Howie, director of the university's Evaluation and Assessment Centre, said.

My first post

Well, now I'm here, but I really don't know, what I want to write in here. I think I'm going to talk about myself. I'm Marcel Klass and from GERMANY, I'm 17 Years old, and I love America. Well, there are some people which I only sometimes like, and they are sitting right next to me. Crazy Soccer freaks. Well, I like soccer too, but they only like the awesome goals of well known Soccer-Stars.
