Germany Threw player eyes

I'm Michael Ballack and I'm the captain of the Germany Soccer Team competing for the FIFA World Cup and I have earned 97 senior caps to date, also I am very determined to lead my team to the major trophy. South Africa will be my last chance on a "major stage". Bayern Munich has a record of 48 goals in 93 internationals and that has put him third on the Germany national scoring chart. Phillipp Lahm has played for Germany at the 2004 Euro, the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and the Euro 2008. He is considered one of the best full back's in the world. He is known for his pace, dribbling and crossing abilities. Our Team Coach is Joachim Low and he was Jurgen Klinsmann's assistant at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He became coach on July 12, 2006 and he has continued Klinsmann's attacking strategy as his main goal. No target has fully been hit, but the all-time leading scorer has earned a large amount of respect for his calm, knowledgeable and sympathetic manner of dealing with stars, press and public alike. If we win the world cup, when we get back home we will a huge celebration and it will be a great honor for our team. If we lose, we know we will have to try harder the next time, if there is a next time. When we reach South Africa we expect a beautiful country, with great weather, and a good competition for the world cup.

Germany in the FIFA world cup

This year, won first place in the European qualifying group which allowed them to qualify for the FIFA world cup. They have been contested in every FIFA world cup tournament, excluding the 1930s and 1950s world cup but Germany has only won the FIFA world cup three times since it started. The first time was in 1954, the second time was in 1974 and the third time was in 1990. Germany has also made it to the FIFA world cup seven times, which ties them with Brazil. This year, they are being coached by Joachim Low. The Germans' consistent success is based on deep reserves of experience, finely-honed tactical knowledge and the ability to rise to the occasion when the game is at its most crucial moments. In the past this is what has made them a very successful team. Michael Ballack, the Germany team captain, has received the runners-up spot at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, another runners-up spot in 2006, and another second place at UEFA EURO 2008 in 2008. If Ballack were to lead his country to the championship and win, that would elevate him to the member ship of the other FIFA world cup winning champions. Another player that the Germans are relying deeply on is their striker Miroslav Klose. He is considered a ‘goal getter’ for his reputation of scoring goals when his team needs it the most. Chelsea midfielder Ballack rates as the undisputed leader of the team. He is only 33 and has received 97 senior caps to this date.
