Thrills, heart-breaking losses, and skills. These words and more describe the men's Germany National Football team.
In 2010, the World Cup, considered the Bowl Season of soccer, will kickoff in South Africa. Many teams will qualify, including the favorites, like France, Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, and others, but only one team will have all the glory, composure, and prestige, and this time it will be Germany.
Often overlooked, Germany has depth and talent dispersed throughout their roster starting with No. 13 Michael Ballack, the center midfielder and captain. He has led Germany to the finals in Euro Cup 2008 and the Semis in 2006 in the World Cup, which was held in Germany. He has the experience to lead this team to victory, but he'll need help.
Up top is the Polish-born native Lukas Podolski and on Ballack's right in midfield is Torsten Frings. Both are very talented and see the whole field. All three players are extremely cognizant, whether or not they possess the ball or not, as well as the rest of the team.
This team is also backed by a pretty imposing threat, the keeper, Jens Lehman. Lehman has great hands and range being 6'4.
Germany, in 2010, will prevail and will be relentless, unlike when they lost to Italy 2-0 in the semis in 2006. They will outlast the competition, beat some underrated wild-cards like Nigeria, and maintain their composure throughout to hoist the most prized trophy in all of soccer.
