Klinsmann fumes over Ballack t-shirt attack


Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann yesterday jumped to the defence of his captain Michael Ballack, who has attracted criticism from the local media for wearing a Dolce & Gabbana T-shirt bearing the legend "Italy Gold".
"It is crazy to attack him for wearing something as innocent as that. But it is good that there is more patriotism around," said Klinsmann, a Californian resident who flies the German flag on the 4th of July.
