World Cup Countdown To Crapello: German Team Told To Wear Bullet-Proof Vests

WORLD Cup News now – Anorak’s Countdown To Crapello - as Germany’s footballer are told to wear bullet-proof vests in South Africa.

As Anorak reader Yampster notes:

We all know they started it…but isn’t this holding a grudge for just a little too long?

Guenter Schnelle from BaySecur (the team’s security outfit) tells German magazine Sport-Bild:

“The possibility for the players of moving outside of the hotel boundaries should be kept to a minimum. Otherwise there must be a full escort: armed security guards and bullet-proof vests for the players.”

And tanks?

Gratuitous and jingoistic? Not yet…
