TvGol 16 April 2014 04:47 Borussia Dortmund were relieved to reach the DFB Pokal final after they held out an impressive Wolfsburg side to win Tuesday's semi-final 2-0. Dortmund's coach Jurgen Klopp conceded his team lacked 'freshness' in their ninth game in 32 days, while captain Sebastian Kehl declared they 'definitely got lucky' as Wolfsburg took 27 shots to the home side's nine at Signal Iduna Park. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Robert Lewandowski scored the goals for Dortmund in the first half but the result could have been much different if Wolfsburg had taken their chances away from home. The visitors almost equalised just before Lewandowski's goal when Junior Malanda's header struck the post and Kevin De Bruyne missed the rebound. The victory was similar to Dortmund's win over Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on April 5 when the North Rhine-Westphalia club had to come from behind to triumph 2-1. "Despite the 2-0 that was very close," Dortmund defender Mats Hummels said after the DFB Pokal semi-final.

The Olympic Games By Kelsey Age Range: 5 to 11 This is a great activity to teach students about other countries, learn about the Olympics, get exercise, and have a healthy competition. Here's how it works: 1) In most schools there are more than one class of each year group. Each class chooses a country to study and divides their class into different groups to compete in different sports. 2) Children in each year group will compete against each other. 5) The students will study the country that their class has chosen, learn about the rules of their competition, and learn about the Olympics. 6) After a couple of weeks of preparation, each class will present what they have learnt about their country to the school, and then the "Olympics" will begin - that's when the classes will compete against each other. *This activity also works well for Social Studies.
