Germany wants to: Eat Paul, Keep Jogi, Kick Ballack, Not Celebrate.
At least according to the Israeli papers.
Hearing that the team doesn't wanna have a celebration with the fans really got to me. I understand them, poor lads are in "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" situation, and it kinda hurts to realize that with all they have to be proud of, they are still disappointed. Reading that made me wanna give them all big big hugs!
However, I was happy to hear no one is blaming Joachim. So much so, that they are starting to believe Ballack would only hurt the team (since he will not let the newer less experienced players express themselves on the field as much as they were able to in the WC). But, I think if there is something to be learn from the game against Spain is that, when not playing well, for whatever reason, the stars are the one who can save the game for the rest of them. I'm hoping now that all the "kids" proved themselves, Jogi will be able to make Ballack fit into this new dynamic.
I'm interested to know how different countries are reposting about our Mannschaft, if you got the same reports as we did...
