...still trying to figure out what to do with them. Coach Rudy VOller has lost Jens Nowotny to injury, but at least he'll have Michael Ballack and Dietmar Hamann to run the creaking German machine. Saudi Arabia, a perennial qualifier, isn't a threat to Germany, but Cameroon's Indomitable Lions are another story. They are the reigning Olympic and African champions. Still, Cameroon is looking long in the tooth. The other team in this group is Ireland, which ran through the first round in '98 undefeated, and last year knocked the Netherlands out of the Cup.

People are just so illiterate about the HIV/AIDS problem. They don't accept that it exists. So I thought, I can punish my body, almost like I am sacrificing myself. I want...
...people will say, "Wait, who is this guy?" And if I have that opportunity, I could be in the media and talk over the radio. Then I can tell people that they really have to watch out, that it is serious. After the games, I will go to Cameroon and I'm hoping to be on TV.
