Highly entertaining game. Podolksi just missed getting a goal minutes before halftime, following a beautiful 1-2 with Schweinsteiger. Poland’s come out to play and Jelen is causing quite a bit to think about especially against Friedrich down the left flank.
Ballack’s play has been solid but I think he is a step slow because of his injury. He maybe substituted after halftime and replaced by Tim Borowski or Sebastian Kehl.
