'ß' is actually pronounced like one 's' with the vowel before getting pronounced longer, so it's 'Grohskreutz' and 'Kiehsling' if you want it 100% correct
Unnecessary letter though, only Germans use it. _________________________________________________________________________________________
Entertaining match between Bayer and BVB yesterday, was 0-0 but good football and plenty of talking points. Leno, the 19-year-old Bayer keeper had a fantastic game and so did Weidenfeller. Hummels should have been sent off for a second bookable offence, the ref admitted to having made a mistake after the game. Bayer's LB Kadlec got sent off because of a lunge on Götze from behind, some minutes later Götze was controversially shown the red as well for an attempted revenge foul on Balitsch, apparently he also spat in his direction.
