Bullet-proof vest, I mean.
You may be tough and you may be a German football (some say soccer) star, but when it comes to playing in next summer’s World Cup in South Africa, sicher ist sicher (it’s better to be safe than sorry).
That’s why Germany’s footballers will be expected to wear bullet-proof vests next summer, and stay as near their hotel as much as possible. Even while playing, I guess. Sicher ist sicher.
“The possibility for the players of moving outside of the hotel boundaries should be kept to a minimum.”
PS: Here’s a related article, sort of.
Observing Hermann 
I thought it was because the Premier League in Great Britain is giving tickets to hooligans and yobs from Liverpool and Chelsea to go to South Africa. No word on whether the Dutch are adopting the same tactic to get rid of their toothless football fans.
Yeah, Pat. There’s something about soccer, I mean football, isn’t there? And if this kind of stuff keeps up they’ll probably eventually be needing bullet-proof vests here too.
