I assume he and Schweinsteiger were supposed to play in central midfield, with Marin and �zil, perhaps, in further forward and wider positions. Ballack must have been penciled in as largely defensive, given that Rolfes was not available and Frings not picked. The most viable alternative in the squad now would appear to be Khedira.

Misses CL final. : Boateng: yellow card and absolutely no consequences. Very simple: the latter was in an English match with an English referee. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

But it may just be that Ballack has a speedy recovery and still plays in the World Cup? Of course Germany then go on to win the cup and the Fairy tale finish is complete with books and movies about it for the next 4 years. Tom Cruise with 1 metre high platform shoes plays the part of Ballack and John Watters is Joachim Loew.

He always seems to be around the squad for some reason!!! |
