German Goalie Jens Lehmann Has An Itch On His Face

Jens Lehmann has been getting a lot of criticism for an apparent finger-jab at German fans during Saturday’s clash against Cyprus. Germans were calling out for Lehmann to be substituted, so he decided to share his opinion. Unfortunately, some cameras caught the incident and now Lehmann has to explain an act we’ve ALL dished out at our bosses, cab drivers, and the dude that always gave us parking tickets in Los Angeles. Yet, Lehmann was quick to deny he even threw out the finger. Wuss.

“I’ve never done anything like that in my life,” said Lehmann, who was defended by Germany officials.

Hey we do this all the time behind close doors, when people’s backs are turned to us and when we’re really trashed or have twelve friends backing us up, we do it right in your face. At least he didn’t grab one of those flairs soccer fans always throw on the pitch and throw it back into the stands. Yeah, that would have been a lot worse.
