Chocolate Cake causes German defeat in Euro 2008 Final

We have just received news from a trusted source, that the German national football team lost last night’s UEFA Euro 2008 final not because of a lack of talent or ability. Instead it was a terrible messup at one of the team’s food providers.

Our informant, who wants to remain anonymous, is working at an Austrian bakery that had an exclusive contract with the German team, and was responsible for all Chocolate Cake deliveries. As we reported earlier, Chocolate Cake was made out to be the decisive factor during this championship.

It turns out, yesterday’s last Chocolate Cake had been forgotten and was not even baked! It was meant to be consumed by the German team right before the final game, to give them the Chocolatey power to withstand the Spanish elite players.

As if this turn of events and the consequent German defeat was not bad enough, the Cake was delivered eventually today … fourteen hours too late! The irony could not be any more biting, than when the belated Austrian bakers brought the enormours Sachertorte onto the stage during the German team’s “Welcome Home” party in Berlin.
