Loew

Germany played its third game in the World Cup today. I wasn't able to watch, but Oliver filled me in on all the details this evening. They won, and they'll play again this weekend. Woo hoo! Can't wait to watch... and that's in no small part because of this guy:

Joachim Loew, the coach. Look at him! I just love him. Windswept hair, dapper coat... and that scarf! I can't process this. 

...And is that a gold bracelet on his arm?

I grew up with this guy as my archetypal coach:

Oops, mistake. Wrong picture. Sorry about that. I actually meant to post this one here:

Jowls, mustache, heft. Mike Holmgren wouldn't be caught dead in a peacoat.  And he definitely wouldn't wear some fancy little pair of Italian leather loafers. Hand the man a Starter jacket, put a clipboard in his beefy man paws, and he'd be set to go.

Oh Joachim, what will you wear for the next game? Will it be that fitted, cornflower-blue sweater from game 1? A killer suit, perhaps? I look forward to Sunday.
