I'm sure Beatle will correct me if I'm wrong, but Lukas Podolski is probably the man to watch on Team Germany, he should be one of the most dangerous scorers in the tournament. The other striker, Miroslav Klose, always seems to come up big at international tournaments as well, he led the last World Cup in goals I think.

Klose… Is that big poof still being considered a good player?.. How many headers will he score tonight?..

Bah - I hope the wellknown German efficiency will be well hidden in the pooch of a kangooroo, and the Aussies teach them a lesson or two.

Klose's definitely past his prime, but he really knows how to raise the level of his play in big games.

Kick off in 02:10.

Will be rooting for Deutschland. 

Its heartbreaking that Ballack is out but Lahm taking over as team captain will be exciting to watch. Schweinsteiger would be key in the midfield as well.

Yeah, was really saddened by that news   

[Beatle]

Schweinsteiger - 7 - always good for a goal..Lahm - one of the most reliable players…whoa...1:25 min

[Madame Buttonfly]

Whoo, here we go again.  Bit less nail-biting for us than last night!  Beats, hope you  ENJOY!

[Giles]

So who said Podolsky then?

[Dexter_]

Ha..

Klose.. almost 2-0

Germany giving a lesson in ball possession.

There you go. He finally did it!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Wish I could be a fly on the wall at Beatle's place right now…!  Lots of noise and BIG grins!
       

[Giles]

Beatle will be insufferable tomorrow….G

[Madame Buttonfly]

The very capable Mexican ref looks SO Mexican - his day job has to be in a Mariachi band!

[Seul]

The only thing that keeps me smiling is knowing that Beats is happy

auussie ass getting kicked

[Giles]

Mein Gott. Beats will be SERIOUSLY insufferable tomorrow.  The goood news though, is that she'll likely be too hungover to post…G

[Madame Buttonfly]

Well done, Germany - impressive.  Beats, trust you will have sore head in morning!

[Seul]

Well… In honour of Beats:

Germany was amazing - seriously the best team I've seen since long. I'll take back my comments (except for the one about Klose)!..

My brother called it quits after 2-0 though:
