In theory a combination of the many virtues the Germans and the Brazilians have brought to the world game should create a potent mix, yet Kuranyi and Paolo Rink thoroughly disprove that theory.
It must be the combination of Panamanian and Hungarian in him that accounts for his football ability.
Clive- woah man, massive respect for admitting that. Still, it's not quite as bad as Ian Wright's prediction four years ago that Pauleta would top-score at Euro 2004.
I remember, during the last World Cup, seeing a huge pile of unsold Kevin Kuranyi action figures in a Hamburg shop window. There were quite a few different ones of the national team but because these sort of things are made way in advance, the manufacturers weren't to know that he wouldn't actually make the WC squad. The Ballack and Klose ones seemed to be flying out but they seemingly couldn't give poor Kevin away. Shame really because they'd nailed his sculpted beard. I've had a bit of a soft spot for him ever since.
