WC Group A: Germany vs Costa Rica

[Hopeunited]

Wasn't that an 8-0 scoreline?

yep.


I say 2-0 for the hosts. Schweinsteiger and Frings.

 

[Hendrik]

Yep.

It seems like the Russian boy won't be available for the game.

German captain Michael Ballack is facing further doubts over his World Cup fitness after failing to complete his first training session since suffering an injury.

Whilst Ballack has always been confident of starting Germany's campaign, his failure to finish the latest training session casts his participation in Friday's World Cup opener against Costa Rica into doubt.

The German camp have only confirmed that Ballack left the training session early with his calf still causing a problem, whilst insisting that their medical staff were doing all they could to make sure the skipper was ready to take the field on June 9.

Klinsmann has previously insisted he will not consider playing anyone who is not fit 48 hours before a game.

Would be a great chance for Borowski to prove himself on the international stage.

The Saudi Arabian team would beat CR at least 3-0

Costa Rica has no chance :boohoo:

Every new World Cup is the most interesting one, because it's happening NOW! Well guys, we're at the 34 hour mark. Can't wait to see ze Germans bone the Ticos.

 

[jefferson goh]

3-0 Germany

 

[shot_stopper91]

Michael Ballack is out so Tim Borowski will most definatly replace him

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Does that change Frings' role in the team? Will he be a little bit more offensive minded and be somewhat of a playmaker, or will Borowski just play exactly like Ballack?

 

[faceNside]

Costa Rica 0-4 Ukraine
Costa Rica 0-2 Catalonian select team
Costa Rica 0-1 Czech Republic
Costa Rica 2-3 Rhein-Neckar (German amateurs)

No way Costa Rica is winning this one. 3-1 Germany.
