Thoughts on Ballack?
legend although i forgot about his existence
Overrated
Will always be remembered for the ultimate choke.
Also Germany 2002 was literally a two man team (Ballack + Kahn).
he is a big guy

Le JUST man of the year 2002 award nominee
he was really popular here in America for some reason
Lots of Americans know Ballack and Schweinsteiger
>le pass to lampard man
dumb ossi
>>66676231
he sounds like Arnie to me
>>66676412
that's Ramelow, though
>>66676601
Well both finished 2nd in Bundesliga, 2nd in German Cup, 2nd in Champions League and 2nd in World Cup. However, Ballack also finished 2nd in Bundesliga top scorers.
amazing scoring record for a midfielder
was already past his prime when he went to chelsea though, and him and Lampard were too similar to really work well together
>>66676637
but ballack did win the bundesliga later in his career (with bayern though, which puts him pretty much on the same level as christian lell), whereas the 2001-02 season is literally the zenith of ramelow's career
He was certainly liked at Chelsea, but he was too similar to Lamps for it to work. That season where frank was out for ages was definitely his best in England
>>66676347
truly one of the unluckiest players around
Makes me remind Ovrebo.
>>66677168
ITS A FUCKING DISGRACE
didn't he arrive on a free?
>>66677188
>>66677168
people unironically were on Chelsea's side
kek
Iniesta's goal happiest moment of my life

God this is embarassing
>Watch first football match I remember on TV when about 5/6
>Germany vs England
>Be Northern Irish
>Family all supporting Germany so I pitch in
>Play Germany all the time on football vidya games
>Associate Ballack with the team and go full Germanboo
>Hear that he transfered to Chelsea
>Had never supported a club team at that point, since the local sports clubs are basically non-existent and too Sectarian for respectable people to involve themselves in
And that's how I became a Chelsea fan, with absolutely no knowledge of their history whatsoever
>>66677912
>being poorthern dirish
unlucky
>>66677912
Maybe today is the right moment to kill yourself.
>>66677944
>Muslims in Northern Ireland: 4000
>Muslims in England and Wales: 2.7 million
I think we have our upsides.
>>66677980
Hey, my brother actually supported England until he was about ten, and realised what the hell he was doing. We still tease him to death about it.
>>66677989
you don't need muslims to blow things up, you've got yourselves for that
NEVERKUSEN
>>66677989
It feels good lad doesn't it. Literally only see the odd darkie when you go for a day of shopping round Belfast. Dungannon is full of them though. Fucking shithole.
>>66676673
Ballack had won the league with Kaiserslautern before he went Leverkusen. Educate yourself before talking trash.
>>66676937
He made Buyern German champions before he went to Bauern.
That will never be forgotten.
He was great in the 2002 World Cup
meeh. very good at Bayern and Leverkusen, but why the fuck he was a diva at the end of his national team career...
le treble of runner-up guy
>>66677912
>not supporting Chelsea because Hasselbaink sounds a little like your name
you deserve to be humiliated tbH desu
>>66676231
Was a little underrated.
But gets overrated when people try to point out how underrated he is.
>>66676248
Agree
Name a better midfield than Lampard-Essien-Ballack. Pro tip: You can't.
>>66685134
Mascherano - Alonso - Gerrard
Busquets - Iniesta - Xavi
Pirlo - Gattuso - Seedorf - Kaka
Zanetti - Cambiasso - Sneijder
Alonso - di Maria - Modric
>>66676415
1. His goal knocked us out of the 2002 Cup
2. Did World Cup commentary here
3. Looks like a brunette Matt Damon
Anyway he's the best German player of his generation.
>>66685134
if terry wasn't such a fucking bitch they would have won their deserved CL
>>66685452
>Mascherano - Alonso - Gerrard
>Zanetti - Cambiasso - Sneijder

>>66677168
reminder that mourinho and the rest of the chelsea crybabbies literally destroyed this mans refereeing career
>>66686891
that team was even better the next season in 09 but got refballed in the semis.
>>66686947
he destroyed his ""refereeing"" """career""" himself m8
My fav german player of all time
And I still want Boateng to die a horrible death because of that injury 2010 (?)
He could shoot, pass, head the ball.. He was strong and he had so much class
>>66685134
Giggs-Keane-Scholes-Beckham
Pires-Vieira-Gilberto-Ljunberg
>>66686947
Hiddink was the manager at the time.
Eternal second
>>66687014
ballack injury is literally the best thing that happened to the german nt in the past 10 years
discount matt damon
>>66677989

Remember him shooting it to the stands after Grosso's goal?
Nice captain you had there, krauts
>>66691784
>Grosso's goal
best night of my life desu
>>66676231
Good player. Not a great player. Felt bad for eternal second place man though.
>>66676937
I don't know which is worse, Gerard slipping against Chelsea and throwing away the title or Ballack doing an own goal against Unterhaching and throwing away the title.
