Of course, you know this beautiful lady: Heidi Klum, originally from a town called Bergisch-Gladbach in western Germany.  And guess who this is...

This is Jürgen Klinsmann, world championn with the German team in 1990 and trainer of the great 2006 team that won the bronze medal. Yes, he lives in the States!
