like, will keep his name alive, will take some positive emotions
on this tragedy and a kind of appeal for everyone to reflect the important things of life and control your own behaviour, I hope so at least, and I hope his wife will cope with that situation, and again: it was really hard for the German nationl team to play under these circumstances, to lose someone close in this way is hard to deal with,

film to the detriment of context and the other players in the story (though the abolitionist, limping senator with the
