Germany wins 'Deutschland Cup'

Germany delivered a great advertisement for the upcoming 2010 World Championship as they won the annual ‘Deutschland Cup' for the first time since 1996. The German team fell to the U.S. in a shootout and then beat Slovakia in a shootout. In the last game of the tournament they easily won the deciding game against Switzerland 5-1.
So Germany holds up the European flag and left the big USA behind.

Not even 20 days after the ending of the 3-Countries Conference in Magglingen the bfu made all presentations of the conference available as a webcast!
Although it was a German-speaking conference and therefore the webcasts are in German either, hopefully the precious contents will assist to promote sports injury prevention throughout Europe.
