Toni losing bet with Bayern teammate Klose

[persianbruin]

TENERO, Switzerland, June 21 (Reuters) - Italy's Luca Toni will have extra motivation to score in Sunday's Euro 2008 quarter-final against Spain as he tries to win a bet with club mate Miroslav Klose.
The two strikers, colleagues at Bayern Munich, have a private contest to see who can grab most goals at the tournament and after the German got off the mark in the 3-2 win over Portugal on Thursday the pressure is on Toni in Vienna.
'I scored my goal so now it's up to Luca to equalise,' Klose told a news conference on Saturday.
'I texted him and he messaged back saying he's having a few problems with his best friend, the ball . He said at the moment it's doing what it wants, not what he wants.'
Between them Toni and Klose claimed 34 Bundesliga goals for Bayern Munich last season so it is surprising to see them struggling here.
Klose played reasonably well in Germany's three Group B games, creating chances for his colleagues but failing to score himself.
'The coaches said to me before the Portugal game the Euros had really only just begun and there was a long way to go,' Klose said after notching his 40th goal in 79 internationals.
'Things went a lot better for me in that game.'

if that stupid gomez had been benched from game 1 and podolski was playing next to klose all 4 games, stats would be in klose favours with a huger margin by far.

anywayz, i still stand by my prediction.

24 goals in Bundesliga, not a single one for Italy in the Euros. What a waste of chances in these 4 games

actually he had a perfect goal which was called a bs offside..!!
besides imo, he was the most effective "lone-forward" in all of euros..!! he had at least 2 defenders attached to him at all times and he would still manage to get a head on the ball on almost 1 out of every 2-3 crosses, the problem is that he didnt have anybody he could play off of..!!

actually 39 goals in 1 season!

bachelot is right, he did have a legit goal against romania which was called off but all in all he did choke.....he's jinxed or something for major competitions.

However, italy's failure was all on the coach..they have a great team.
