News from the World Cup

The street sweepers of the German city Leipzig got a pleasant surprise Monday morning. When they were about to start their work, they discovered there was nothing to clean.



After celebrating South Koreas 1-1 against the French World Cup Winners from '98, the Koreans gathered up all plastic cups, plates, and everything else they had brought and put it all in the garbage bins placed around the city.

At 5am the cleaning personell came to work, but there was nothing to do - Leipzig was clean!

- It was fantastic. Our job was like a dream, said Ute Brückner, spokesperson for the cleaners in town. Thanks to the help from the Koreans, they could leave their jobs several hours early Monday.
