Frings would play himself

Germany midfielder Torsten Frings insists he would play himself in Sunday's Euro 2008 final against Spain if he was German coach - despite having a fractured rib.
The holding midfielder fractured it in the 1-0 group stage win over Austria on June 16, but just nine days later declared himself fit enough to come off the bench as Germany beat Turkey 3-2 in Wednesday's semifinal.
One of three current survivors from the 2002 World Cup final defeat to Brazil, the 31-year-old is desperate to play in Sunday's final in Vienna and has already told coach Joachim Loew to pick him.
"I feel absolutely fit, I hardly have any problems now and I am amazed how quickly I have healed," said Frings.
"I was a bit nervous playing in the semifinal, I worried how I would cope if I went down, but I am fit, raring to go and burning to play."
While he admits his place in the starting line-up comes with a certain risk - both to his own health and the team's aspirations to win a fourth European title - Frings said he would play himself if he was in Loew's shoes.
