as a German decendant Australian I feel that it is a bonus for Australia, but also for Germany. Ballack has not performed nearly well enough and was only barely back from injury in the first place. Germany have so many brilliant young players coming trough that I don't think it is going to hurt their chances at finishing in the top two.

It is not going to advantage Australia either though.

I Vote Meh.


That's what I fear.

He's entitled to his opinion. And I guess he just wants a bit of international input.

I guess if a star player went out with an injury in a different group to Australia's, I'd probably be disappointed too.

At the moment, I'm ecstatic about Ballack's injury. Though, like Gollum the Frenchie says, one man doesn't make a team. I'm sure the Germans have a pretty good replacement for him.

At least with Ballack we knew what we were up against.

I think we have to look at it realisticly. Germany is Germany they have never really relied on one player. They are a unit, as much as I am pleased Ballack will miss the tournament, we have to remember its not just a positive for Australia but also Ghana and Serbia will be pleased aswell. So really does it change anything?

Fox Sports summed it up perfectly:

"Germany's loss is Australia's gain".

You never wish injury upon anyone and I mean anyone, and I really do feel for the bloke as it is the biggest tournament in the World and most likely his last. But it does give Australia a bit more of a boost.

I found myself quite happy that Germany were with out Ballack, then I realised that he himself personally must be shattered.

Then I think oh well GO AUSSIES!!!

What do you guys think?
