Makaay will stay at Bayern until 2008

Despite the bad news about not being called for the World Cup, Roy Makaay has extended his contract with his club Bayern Munich for one year until 2008 season.

It's a good time to remember that the Dutch striker joined Bayern in 2003 for a club record 19 million euros ($23.4m) from Deportivo la Coruna and his current deal was going to end in 2007.

About his feeling and the city, Makaay said: "I like it here and always said that I would like to stay longer,"

It was good to see him scoring last weekend. His double Sunday in a 2-2 draw at Mainz 05 brought his league season tally to 16 strikes.
