Major blow for the Germans... I don't really think he's ever been the same player since he moved to Chelsea but he's a different class for the national team.

Good!!! one of the dirtiest player in the prem. moaning about the tackle which he himself is guilty of on alot of occassions

So Ballack's out for the Germans this summer then?

Could be a big dent in Germany's chances now, i really consider them as big contenders to win it though and will surprise a few if they do win it but i think they are capable of doing so even without Ballack.

I agree, I expect them to at least make the semi's.

Its got nothing to do with England though. The sheer smugness of the guy was unreal. I do not have a problem with them favouring England, my problem lies with the presenters sitting delighted that another countries player is injured.

Whats wrong with the link being "Breaking news and its terrible news for Germany"

The commentators too have always been very biased.

I remember watching the England v Croatia game at Wembley when England had to win to make Euro 2008 and Croatia had been winning 3-1 but England came back in the 2nd half and made it 3-3, only for Croatia to then go 4-3 up and not exaggerating at all their wasn't a peak out of either of the commentators for at least 2 minutes.

Agreed he is disgusting flysh*t. The lowest form of sh*t. He down there with the Kevin Thompsons of this world.

[Bristolhibby]

I remember just before he got injured he slapped a Pompey player (gentle mind). I thought that is a sending off. However he is a Chelsea player, so nothing happened.

He then got his "medicine" not two minutes later.
