Ballack saves the day

The qualifying match for the quarterfinals in Germany against Austria. For one, the goalkeeper was great. Lehmann and Macho. I wonder why he got such an unique family name but, I won;t give credit for his face. There are many near misses here and there. And poor Gomez missed so many times. Goes the same for Podolski.

The best part is the free kick by Ballack which scores immediately!!! The commentators used the term "fly straight into the goal". He certainly lives up to his name and holy shit, the ball was so many yards away!!!

And for some reason the coaches got into a fight and both men was sent off the field. Damm embarassing especially for Germany because the Chancellor was watching the match. But well, at least he got to sit with the Chancellor
