Dubious Information
editCaps and goal figures in the article likely contain European cup/Domestic cup data in addition to Domestic League data (this is very certain based on this user's previous edits containing similar information [1]. Please correct this issue and leave a note here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alfmaster#Footballers.27_European_goals, to warn this person about putting improper information on Wikipedia. --Palffy 21:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Sacked
edit- World Cup 2006: Wörns is controversially sacked as an international by coach Jürgen Klinsmann, although Wörns is regarded as one of the (few) German defenders who are both regulars in their clubs and playing well. Germany takes third place in the tournament.
This is not true, when Klinsmann announced the 22 players for the World Cup 2006 squad, Wörns was only a backup squad member. This promped an outrageous interview by Wörns where he verbally attacked Klinsmann. Due to the interview the DFB took disciplinary action against Wörns, sacking him as an international. This action was similar to what happened to Uli Stein (during the 1986 FIFA World Cup) and Stefan Effenberg (during the 1994 FIFA World Cup).
- After the 2006 World Cup, national team manager Oliver Bierhoff disclosed that Wörns was dropped because he had refused to train in Adidas boots, as required by the DFB. Wörns stated that he had difficulty wearing Adidas boots following injury.[2]
Even the linked article does not mention that Wörns was sacked because he refused to wear adidas, it says: "Bierhoff confirmed Tuesday that the Borussia Dortmund defender Christian Woerns, who was dropped before the World Cup by former coach Juergen Klinsmann for disciplinary reasons, had refused to train or play in Adidas boots. Woerns claimed he had difficulties wearing the Adidas boot following injury." I'm gonna change that...
International Career
editThis section is written badly and in a biased way e.g. "[...] who fell theatrically, rolling several times on the ground.". Most of the information given there is completely dispensable. TRBP talk 15:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
