The German Catholic news website kath.de has created a special page on its site dedicated to the German bishops' hopes for the country's World Cup soccer team.
The page, titled “Weltmeisterschaft 2010 – So tippen unsere Bischofe” currently features Bishop Joachim Wanke of the Diocese of Erfurt and Bishop Norbert Trelle of the Diocese of Hildesheim.
Each bishop was asked two questions. “What chance does the German National Team have at the 2010 World Cup?” and “What do you associate with a soccer celebration such as the World Cup?”
“Despite the difficulties with the team’s formation, I hope that the German National Team will master the World Cup,” said Bishop Wanke. He added that he associates the World Cup with, “ideally, a fabulous summer.”
