I want to buy Kevin Prince a beer.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Ballack Out of World Cup?
GERMANY captain Michael Ballack has been ruled out of the World Cup finals with an ankle injury, the German Football Federation have confirmed.

Have your say.

As a Chelsea supporter I was disgusted with the tackle and as a Socceroos supporter I was also disgusted with the tackle....whether we win or lose or he plays or doesn't we shouldn't take delight at his injuries.

Never knew you were a Chelsea supporter Joffa...typical.

Why is that mate?

Hard lines for the poor guy I feel for him but the best news for the Roos I have heard in ages. Lets hope the Prince of Boateng also dosen't cut it. The incident also tells me what a dirty bunch of pricks certain Ghanians can be when under the pump and there so called impeccable technique goes out the door under a hail of flailing tackles.

Losing your captain before such a big tournament is tough, the fact that Kevin-Prince Boateng is German born (and playing for Ghana) just makes it worse.

Bad luck for him and Germany, good fortune for us, thats not rejoicing in his injury but it is good for us.

Ballack can't complain he was stirring up the prince.

No we shouldn't. But we do. Oh we how we do. [-o< \:d/

I mean Chelsea AND German?

yessss!!!!! oh wait that's right ballack isnt even that good.

Should he now be known as the prince or the puunce?

While the Germans have the depth to replace Ballack on the field I think the psychological blow of losing their captain on the eve of the tournament will hurt them a lot. His leadership and experience raised their standard and his absence will take its toll.

I should be happy, but I also know what goes around comes around. karma's a bitch

LOL wow Ballack is gone. They will just reload the ammo with their super extraordinary depth. I wont be celebrating until the job is done. I will put the champagne down for now.

I wonder what Jerome Boateng is thinking right now

+1

Add in their goalkeeping problems and the camp must be a bit unsettled. They should be OK once they get going, but it might take them a game... ;)

First and foremost as a fan this is a huge blow. Ballack is and has been one of the best players of the decade and huge blow

I feel real sorry for him as it would've been his one last shot at WC glory with a realistic chance.

Can only help us I guess, maybe Boateng could somehow get rid of Vidic too.

Such a bad thing to happen to a quality player right before the World Cup. Would've been his last one too. But on another note WOO FUCK YEAH incredible luck for us.

Germany vs Ghana will be an interesting match, especially if KPB is on the pitch.

:lol: we've had a lot of Chelski fans emerge in the last few days...

I think you will find it is well known on here that I am Chelsea supporter and have been for almost 30 years....we weren't always awash with Russian roubles you know.


[-x [-x

He's Germany's talisman...but lets be honest, Ballack is a shadow of the player he once was when at Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Meh, very dirty player. Probably one of the dirtiest in the prem. Not saying he deserved it. But im not complaining. Wont be missed.

:-#

Didn't know you were so old Joffa, maybe thats why you have so much time to spend posting articles.

Easy tiger...I ain't old...well sort of anyways...


:lol: :lol:

He probably won't escape the match alive with all the angry German players and supporters targetting him.

Lol you've been supporting Chelsea since 15 years before I was born.

Cheeky bugger :lol: :lol:

not everyone here has an avatar or sig related to thier favourite team ;) unless there's some strange reference to chelsea in your avater joff :lol:

Ballack is a shadow of himself at club level but still a dominant force for Germany at International level

When I used to post on the TWG I had a picture of Zola as my avatar on here it is a Grateful Dead(Band)picture

What Joffa means to say is, he's been a fan since birth. Making him 30. ;)

I like the way you think MartyB. :d

Karma's a bitch aint it, Michael?

Enjoy watching the games from your hospital bed you cheating German cunt.

Is it just me, or does the moon look extra beautiful tonight? And for some weird reason, dinner tastes extra good tonight. Everything just seems to be pleasant about this evening all of a sudden. :d

And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world... :cool:

I think Joff was trying to say he has been a Chelsea fan since inception, making him 29 :P

Oh dear. What a pity. How sad.

if you are quick you might find an online bookie who hasn't adjusted the odds.

Mind you Castrol Rankings don't reckon Australia's chances of getting out of the group are as bad as the bookies anyway. And they give AUS a 20% chance of topping the group.

Incredible luck for the teams that could await us in the quarter-final, perhaps. But for Australia...:roll:

And that should be England who will do the same as what they did to Dresden in 44/45. :-$

If one has no arguments, just comes the Nazi cudgel. It's getting boring.

Well, bad karma for ridikewelly Harry.

Karma? what Ballack said about Harry was fact whether we like it or not.

im glad ballack is missing the cup, not glad he got injured. i dont wish injury on any player, but ballack has become this stuckup idiot since he went to chelsea and i dont think he deserves to be at the world cup.

Royal Edict to Clown Prince Boateng-You have got rid of one World Cup hacker in Ballack can you now please rid the World Cup of another butcher in Serbian Vidic? You will recieve an Order of Australia if you do!!

Bad news all round here, should make our game against Germany easier - but I would prefer to not be seeing players who deserve to be at the cup missing out like this.

I did not watch all of the FA Cup, but I understood he slapped one of the Portsmouth player and the tackle was some sort of retribution?

Ballack out.. Well a wounded lion is more dangerous than a hungry lion. We should not get too far in front of ourselves on Ballack's injury.

Hmmm ... feel sorry for Ballack .....
I will bring tears to my eyes on Game day

He's thinking he's gunna kick his brother?
It's an interesting story...
