Joint favourites Germany begin their Euro 2008 campaign against neighbours Poland on Sunday with Polish-born striker Miroslav Klose in the form of his life, says German coach Joachim Loew.The Germany team arrived here on Saturday afternoon with Loew playing down their tag as joint favourites.But having returned home winless from both Euro 2000 and 2004, Germany are desperate to break their 12-year drought since winning Euro 1996 and plan to use Klose as their main weapon.The Bayern Munich striker, who was born in Oppeln, Poland, was top scorer at the 2006 World Cup and after winning Germanys domestic treble last season he wants to translate domestic success to the European stage.With 39 goals and 75 caps, Klose will turn 30 on Monday with Loew insisting he is in the form of his life.Miroslav has left a fantastic impression in training, I have never seen him that fit, that agile and strong, said Loew.The way he moves in training, you could see his old dynamic（动力的） self coming back, running into space and physically speaking he is back to his best.While Loew will have a full strength side to choose from - he is expected to play Klose up front alongside Germanys player of the year in 2007 Mario Gomez - Polish coach Leo Beenhakker has had to reshuffle his team.Midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski, who plays for Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, will miss the entire tournament after aggravating（加重） a hamstring（腿跛） injury in training on ThursdayBeenhakker also lost left-back Grzegorz Bronowicki from his provisional squad last month because of a knee injury and will have to field a makeshift defence in the Germany match.Both the Polish and German camps insist there is no tension between them despite efforts in the Polish media to raise the ante.The match is regarded as one of the most sensitive of the tournament given the history between the two countries.Last Wednesday, Polish tabloid（小报） Super Express printed a modified picture of Beenhakker holding the heads of Germany boss Loew and captain Michael Ballack under the headline: Leo, bring us their heads!.Beenhakker described the picture as sick and met Loew at Klagenfurts Woerthersee Stadium on Saturday to apologise in person for the image.Everyone has been living with this match in different ways, said the 65-year-old Dutchman with Poland making their European Championship debut.We saw a bad example last week, lets just bring it back to football.I know the consequences of winning and losing a match like this in a countrys social psychology and the consequences can be far reaching. Holland are totally orange, Poland are red and white, Germany are black, red and gold.We just have to do our best for the team, concentrate on football and seperate ourselves from the rest.History favours Loews side as in the 15 meetings betweeen the teams since 1933, Poland have yet to win, while Germany have won 11 with the other four finishing in drawsLoew said: If we play to our full potential and are physical against Poland, I think we will win.Win in Africa with Africa(Preview: Its about a project of football but virtually a development tool aimed at enhancing the situation of Africa.)The idea for the Win in Africa with Africa project first emerged（ 浮现，形成）on 15 May 2004, when members of FIFAs executive committee chose South Africa as hosts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup . Sensing a duty to assist the African continent above and beyond the realm of sport, world footballs governing（管理） body resolved （决心）to go further. Thus Win in Africa with Africa was officially unveiled （揭开面纱）on 7 July 2006, boasting a budget of 70 million dollars. FIFA hopes to use football as a development tool and draw the worlds attention to Africa.In essence, Win in Africa with Africa is not about sending aid to Africa so much as providing the continent with the tools to progress and the skills with which it can continue its own development.The initiative has the backing（支持） of the United Nations, for whom then Secretary General Kofi Annan signed the original document on 7 July 2006, and the European Union, which came on board on 9 July 2006.Similar wide-ranging initiatives based on the same model have been planned for other regions of the world, with Win in Oceania（大洋洲） with Oceania and Win in India with India soon to go ahead.The project consists of three major FIFA undertakings: Developing the game Touch the world Build a better future First World Cup(Preview: the passage mainly describe the birth of world cup telling much about the history of football.) The 1932 Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles, did not plan to include football as part of the schedule due to the low popularity of football in the United States, as American football had been growing in popularity. FIFA (Federation（同盟） International de Football Association 国际足球联盟)and the IOC also disagreed over the status of amateur（业余爱好者, 业余艺术家） players, and so football was dropped from the Games.8 FIFA president Jules Rimet thus planned the inaugural（就职的，开始的） World Cup tournament（锦标赛，联赛） to be held in Uruguay（乌拉圭） in 1930. The national associations of selected nations were invited to send a team, but the choice of Uruguay as a venue（比赛地点） for the competition meant a long and costly trip across the Atlantic Ocean for European sides. Indeed, no European country pledged （保证）to send a team until two months before the start of the competition.9 Rimed eventually persuaded teams from Belgium,（比利时） France, Romania,（罗马尼亚） and Yugoslavia（南斯拉夫） to make the trip. In total 13 nations took part seven from South America, four from Europe and two from North America. The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously,（同时的） and were won by France and USA, who beat Mexico 41 and Belgium 30 respectively. （分别的，各个的）The first goal in World Cup history was scored by Lucien Laurent （劳伦，落郎 法国数学家）of France.10 In the final, Uruguay defeated Argentina（阿根廷） 42 in front of a crowd of 93,000 people in Montevideo, and became the first nation to win a World Cup.11 2.Vocabulary(常用词汇)FIFA (Federation（同盟） International de Football Association 国际足球联盟)amateur（业余爱好者, 业余艺术家）inaugural（就职的，开始的）tournament（锦标赛，联赛）venue（比赛地点）pledge （保证）Belgium,（比利时）simultaneously,（同时的）respectively. （分别的，各个的）Yugoslavia（南斯拉夫）top scorer 最佳射手，得分球员translate domestic success to the European stage 把国内的成功转为在欧洲赛场上的胜利agile 敏捷coach 教练reshuffle his team 改组他的队伍tournament 锦标赛provisional squad 临时小组field a makeshift（凑合的） defence 出于权宜之计，让其成为防守队员making their European Championship debut.为欧洲杯冠军争夺打下基础in draws 打成平手3.
