Of course, today's game took place in Dortmund, Germany.. Which Old Metalheads know was the site of a legendary Metal concert featuring the Scorpions back in 1983. Coincidence?? I think not.

For the record, Umlaut supports England and would love to see a Scorpions vs. Iron Maiden World Cup 2006 match.
