It is looking more and more Brazil's tournament to lose -- with no team really otherwise in the discussion. Ballack's injury is very bad news for Germany. Mike

Other candidates in the squad are Tr�sch (unexperienced) and Westermann (normally a defender). Kroos is also an alternative - could be something in between a 4231 and a 4141 then: Lahm Mertesacker Westermann ??? Schweinsteiger Marin �zil Kroos Podolski Klose Just a bit more attacking than the scheme with Khedira and Schw. and Marin �zil Podolski in front of them. Joachim

Losing to Germany, Serbia, Ghana no shameful matter at all!!! Hopefully my enthusiasm prompts others to be just as enthusiastic!!!
