    Vogts' joke: Ronaldo to get photograph of German defender

     STUTTGART, Germany (AP) -- German coach Berti Vogts thinks he's found a way to spook Brazil's superstar Ronaldo before Wednesday's pre-World Cup showdown: give him a photograph of Yves Eigenrauch, the defender who last week shut out Ronaldo in a club game.
     "I'll hang up a photograph of Eigenrauch in the locker room of the Brazilians, exactly above the place where Ronaldo will change," Vogts joked Monday.
     More seriously, Vogts said Eigenrauch may not be in the starting lineup, but could come in a substitute.
     Eigenrauch, who has never before played for Germany, kept Ronaldo scoreless in last week's UEFA Cup quarter-final between Schalke and Ronaldo's Internazionale Milan. Inter advanced 2-1 on aggregate.
     After the impressive performance, Vogts called him up for Wednesday's game.
