German training regime

World Cup Soccer:
"German soccer team coach Juergen Klinsmann has instigated a new training regime for his World Cup squad: repairing watches. The players have been signed up for classes in Switzerland, although no one knows what this will do for their chances."

They'll be ahead of themselves. They will be able to tell the time. They'll be focussed. They'll know about precision,patience and tolerance. They will also have a skill to call upon when their day job is over. Ingenious. Will it work??
