Michael Ballack ruled out of the WC

[elnino99]

lool boateng took revenge for germany rejecting him
oh well ballack is overrated xavi is 10 times better

wtf, they are 2 very different players with 2 different styles.

Ballack carried a mediocre Germany team to WC finals in 2002 (alongside Kahn), only to be suspended for it.

then he was Germany's best player in Portgual despite the horible tournament.

shone again in WC06, and in WC08 was again a stand out.

always performs amazingly for the national team.

sorry to say it, but anyone cheering for an injury to great players (especially those of their last WC) is a true classless twat

how do you now he's bad as a human and besides he is reasonable for why he argues whit the ref lol

cant u see that? I know people. just the fact he elbowed demicheles and didn't even ask about him says enough.

He's someone who only thinks about himself, he thinks he's greater than the rest. Arrogant, selfish..

[Haf3z]

I sympathize with him. CL and WC finalist without medals. This was his last chance .

whats funny is germany has the most final losses than any other team...they've probably gotten more 2nd places than actual wins whether in world cup, euros, etc...

Thats right about World Cups, not sure about Euros.

Germany have been to 7 World Cup finals. Won 3 of them, lost 4.. Ballacks been to two Champions League finals, and lost them both.. (bayern vs madrid, and chelsea vs united). He's also been to Euro 2008, and lost the final..

He's played in two world-cups, was close both times (finalist in 2002, and semis in 2006), also was finalist in Euro 2008.

That had a story before. Ballack slapped Boateng some minutes before the foul in this game. I think Boateng was to take revenge. anyways bad for germany. I feel bad for him but this is football

With regards to Germany, I like Frings, I think he's a very good player. I also thought that he was Germany's best last time around. Im not questioning the merits in picking him, I just dont think Low is going to pick him. And he's had a poor season so Anyway if he doesn't i think they will play a 5-men midfield :

The only positive note in CM is that Schweini has played arguably his finest season in CM. What Germany possess is what teams cant have enough of: Flexibility and Fluidity. You've picked a midfield five that you can make up a few formations from which is a great quality to have. The question is, would Low trust the younger players to express themselves or will he be keeping it conservative ?


Schweini -- Khedira

Muller -- Kroos -- Ozil

Klose

Boetang is a Ghanayan piece of shit, who injured MB on purpose.

I wish he rots in hell, and Ghana doesn't get a single point

those unfair cheats....

He's not even fully Ghanayan, but I don't think the WC was on his mind, when he tackled Ballack. Yes, it was a very poor challenge, late and wreckless, but did not 'injure MB on purpose'. Thats over the line.

I hate Ballack. Such a dirty player. And I hate Germany, so this is good news for me. lol

He's played in two world-cups, was close both times (finalist in 2002, and semis in 2006), also was finalist in Euro 2008. They will definitely miss him. He's a player that always plays well for his country, and is their key player. He's their leader, and has been captain ever since Kahn stepped down the captaincy. Ballack also is the penalty taker, and if Germans were into another penalty-shoot out, mr Ballack would be a certainty as one of the takers..

Good news for England, if we face Germany in the second round!!
