Maybe the Germans do have a sense of humour after all.

Voo are you kidding ...

FOOTIE fans in Germany are being urged to stick pins in voodoo dolls to kill our hopes of winning the World Cup.

Thousands of the £10 hessian models have sold on the internet.

Each 6in figure comes with a St George’s flag and its own pins.

A slogan on the packaging says: “Voodoo your team to victory.”

And instructions tell how to nobble an England player during a match.


A target for the Krauts: Frank Lampard in action for England.

First, punters decide which of our lads they want to put out of the game.

If Michael Owen makes a run on goal the makers say he will fall over before he can shoot if enough dolls have pins stuck in them.

John Terry could suddenly collapse as he is about to make a tackle. Wayne Rooney will keel over if he gets the same treatment. And German manufacturers Fussi Deluxe are flogging all the dolls they can produce.

Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters’ Federation, said voodoo would never be enough for the wannabe witch doctors to stop England being victorious.

He added: “They’ll need more than black magic to beat us.”



AIR fresheners in the shape of England players have been licensed for sale by the FA.

We'll nail German Cup hex



By GRANT ROLLINGS


England's fans celebrate their team's 5-1 victory against Germany in Munich, 1st September 2001.


ENGLAND fans can use black magic to fight the German World Cup voodoo.

The Sun told yesterday how German fans are planning to stick pins into voodoo dolls dressed as our stars.

But we are fighting back by summoning up our own witch doctor.

Doktor Snake has promised to put a coffin nail — literally — into Germany’s hopes.

He has devised special spells, known as Jerry Jinxer and Blighty Booster, for fans to chant.

And his black magic kit, including a coffin nail and voodoo dolls, is to be used if we play Germany.

The Doktor, 45, from Norwich, who has written a book on voodoo spells, said: “Fans should stick the nail in the leg of the doll that represents the German team.”

At the same time, he said, fans must chant:

“Nail of pain bring the German players aching legs! Nail of pain make them take to their beds!”

A High John the Conqueror root — used for its magical powers — should be attached by rubber band to the “England” doll. Fans should hold it up and chant: “England! Voodoo Hoodoo Yoodoo!!!”

The Doktor, real name Jimmy Lee Shreeve, said: “The German voodoo doll threat is no joke. Hexes can work. We must counter-attack.”

Who is ranked higher in the world rankings?

Which team recently got thrashed 4-1 against Italy?

Germany aren't the team they used to be. If England finish first in their group, and German finish 2nd (or vice versa) it will be England VS Germany in the tournament's Last 16 - and you will progress no further as we will beat you.
