Lehmann's WC sheet to raise funds
Afp, Berlin
Arsenal's German international goalkeeper Jens Lehmann revealed Tuesday that he plans to sell the secret penalty shootout note from the World Cup quarter-final win over Argentina with the funds going to a charity for sick children. The auction will take place in Berlin on December 16 with television channel ZDF following proceedings. Lehmann was the hero for Germany in the quarter-final win over Argentina saving two penalties from Roberto Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso. It later came to light that goalkeeping coach Andreas Koepke had given Lehmann a secret sheet of paper with advice on all of Argentina's penalty takers and the note stole the headlines in the press. Hosts Germany were eliminated 2-0 by eventual winners Italy in the World Cup semi-final and had to settle for third after defeating Portugal in the play-off.
