Horrendous news! Ballack is out of the World Cup. The culprit for this evil situation, a right ankle injury which Ballack received during the FA Cup final (which he won) against Porthsmouth (challenge by Boateng). Ballack has been ruled out for 8 weeks, which means he will clearly miss the world cup. Painful news as this would probably be Ballack's last World Cup appearance given his age (unless a miracle happens). Should Germany win the World Cup this year it will surely seal Ballack's reputation as the "runners up" man.
This is truly a big loss for Germany. Not only have they lost their beloved captain, they have also lost the player who at many times carried their team.
It's weird this World Cup. Many of our beloved "older" superstars will be not be starring (Beckam, van Nistelrooy, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo (Brazil), Raul, Totti). I guess it's time for the younger ones to shine. Go Rooney!
