GERMANY coach Joachim Loew has said he will watch his language ahead of today's Euro 2012 quarterfinal with Greece after learning of a deaf German lip-reader tweeting his pitch-side outbursts.
"I have said some pretty hefty expletives, I have to admit that. So I will probably have to beware of that a little bit more in the future," said Loew after learning about football-fan Julia Probst. Under her Twitter account EinAugenschmaus (A Feast for the Eyes), the 30-year-old reads the lips of German players and coaches whenever the cameras zoom in on their faces during matches.
The Germans' comments are then immediately tweeted and Probst has picked up Loew occasionally swearing. Probst began turning the Germans' mutterings into tweets during the 2010 World Cup.
