World Cup Group A: Germany vs Poland

H

Hendrik

Team Captain
Time for some entertaining football again :ewan:

vs


Venue: FIFA World Cup Stadium (Westfalenstadion), Dortmund

Wednesday, 9 pm CET



Group standings:

Germany 3 +2
Ecuador 3 +2
Costa Rica 0 -2
Poland 0 -2

What the coaches say:

Jürgen Klinsmann: We know that it will be a very tough match. Poland will be doing their utmost to remain in the tournament. It’s the last chance saloon for them and this means that it’ll be one heck of a match. We will have to come out playing positive and aggressive football.

Pawel Janas: The points we failed to pick up against Ecuador will have to be made up for against Germany. We need at least a draw, otherwise we’ll be on the plane home.

Confirmed German lineup:

------------------- Lehmann ------------

Friedrich -- Mertesacker -- Metzelder -- Lahm

------------- Frings ------- Ballack --------------

Schneider ------------------------------Schweinsteiger

--------------------------------- Podolski ----------
------------ Klose ----------------------------


It's definitely going to be a special game for Klose and Podolski to play against their country of birth. So far the two teams have faced each other 14 times: 10 German victories, 4 draws.

Why is Dudek not the GK of the Polish team? I guess he didn't agree with the NT coach?


I have a gut feeling that Germany will win this 1-0 goal by Podolski.

Klinsmann should have let Borowski as the starter, ahead of Ballack... Borowski played very well... I hope Germany keep showing some good football, and if so... i hope they do win! :)

1-0 Germany

Dudek hasn't been playing in Liverpool for a very long time so the answer was obvious - he couldn't play in WC if he wasn't playing in a club. Another top player, Frankowski who was a goal machine in WCQ, had a terrible season with no goal at all so again - he's out
plus they both are very old and could have had too much influence on other young players, what was the main reason of a disgrace during the last WC - new coach wanted to change smth then (what doesn't change a fact his decisions are mostly just absurdic)

both Boruc and Kuszczak have had a very good season so there they go, the third one is a rookie to get some experience

Same story was with Romario in last WC, loved by many, superstriker in Qualifications but finally was out of the WC and Brazil won it later on
I wish same story could have been said about current Polish team :drevil:
but hey, it's good to have dreams, Ger - Pol: 1-2 (6)

After the poor perfomance of Poland against Ecuador, i don't think Germany should have too many troubles here, but i don't think there will be many goals anyway, i say a 2-0 will do.:jambo:

I love everyone predicting the Poles to score against the Poles. I've been waiting to see Klose or Podolski score against Poland for a long time because I'm an asshole.

You see, now doesn't that just prove that "Germans" cant play up front :jambo:

EDIT: If Klose and Podolski (or Borowski, for that matter) dont score and Germany still win, then i'll be proven wrong. In the meantime, however, i'll stick to my 3 -1 for us.

Dammit Robbie, your prediction is an A+ joke. I'm pissed I didn't make it.
