Jurgen Klinsmann – likes FootballFilter
“For those of us who struggle to organize our visits to websites, blogs, podcasts and video sites this ‘dashboard’ helps organize favorites in a efficient way.” – Jurgen Klinsmann on FootballFilter via his ‘favourites” page http://www.klinsmann.com/favorites/
As a German, he knows all about efficiency so I’ll take his words as gospel. I wonder if he actually did the links page himself….?
Digest Twitter Better
We at FootballFilter spend a lot of time on Twitter. We have also accumulated a lot of people to follow. Yesterday I discovered paper.li which allows you to make a newspaper of all the links and videos that have been posted by the people you follow. Check out FootballFilter’s newspaper page here:

If you make one post it in the comments section so we can take a look – doesn’t have to be football related!
Graham Poll speaks to FF
Thanks to our friends at The Coral Dugout, Football Filter has had the chance to quiz former top-flight and infamous World Cup referee Graham Poll on the performance of the men in the middle in South Africa. Coming the day after Howard Webb became the first English referee since 1974 to run the rule over the final of the competition, his words are timely. He also gave the most useful and rounded answers to questions out of the three (former England players Martin Peters and Terry Butcher answered previously).
Here are his thoughts on Lampard’s now-notorious ‘ghost-goal’ against Germany. He disagreed with our nigh-on certainty that the Lino must have seen the ball was over the line and argued that fear of getting involved would not have played a part.
Interesting stuff, and you can see where Poll is coming from. Maybe I am still in denial… but surely he must have seen it…
Our next question asked Poll to name his referee of the World Cup. I expect the Dutch would disagree after last night but few would have much sympathy for them after their kick-and-block performance against worthy-winners Spain. I mean jeez, Van Bommel should have been booked during the anthems.
You can view other answers from Poll and get more information on the Coral Dugout via Facebook and Twitter.
