Well, the final decision will be made right before the game… duh. If Ballack not in, then Borowski. Com’on Ballack get a massage and off we go…. Thought you wanted to win a title before you switch over to the USA. Okay, I am speculating about the USA switch… For goodness sakes, don’t believe everything the press tells you… even the reporters contributing to this site don’t know everything… Go Germany

I am on the Westcoast/USA, so excuse me for jumping on the bandwaggon so late, but the ever resourceful Bild says that Ballack is playing. Who would have ever thought that I am looking at Bild for information.

Karl, I’m speechless too. I was just simply surfing around online and watching the Wimbledon (me do watch tennis at times, unless it’s major tournaments) on pay-TV at the same time…and then that piece of news came about.

“What now for Ballack?”
Hi diana. I don’t know. That’s worst case. I’m speechless right now.

Karl, I had posted the news here already – http://germany.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/meet-the-schweinsteigers-and-learn-about-the-tragedy-of-philipp-lahm%e2%80%99s-great-great-great-great-grandfather.html#comment-106658

Both of us posting at the same time. What now for Ballack?

In german TV they just said Ballack maybe cannot play tomorrow due to “muscular problems”. He couldn’t even participate in training today. All my best wishes!!

Wow Ballack is so handsome. He could win on his good looks. By the way,I met him once at UCLA (That is in Los Angeles, ya know) after a Chelsea practice session. He was very nice actually, but I had to holler in German to get his attention. And, yes, then he came back to us… Signed, my son’s shirt, soccer ball, picture and also signed autographs for the other people around me who did not or could not holler in German. It was sweet. When it was over, my son with a wide grin on his face, said.. Mom you are so embarrassing.. duh.

LOL, Jan, now be nice. We (Germany) would like to win. Maybe Ballack asked the people: “have you seen Holland lately? We are looking for Holland. They were here and now they are gone. If you see Holland please report to the Lost and Found section behind the Turkish goal.”

‘I hope that someone smash him in the face to wake him up . Maybe he will get mad. But it’s alright that he will mad again ’
There is a reason why he is called ‘Mad Jens’…

Diana: Hey, I’m a Bayern supporter, being nice to Ballack though he is in the national team jersey, is still a psychologically complex problem for me! As a side note, I think the rule change regarding the amassed yellows was a good one.

Chitra: Actually I had a thought along those lines, though mine would have been “Timo, if you can hear me, turn on your Handy!”
