Finally, World Cup Soccer 2006 Germany began a little while ago. I watched opening game on TV at Riverside wearing a uniform of Germany.
I worried about Germany because "Emperor" Ballck didn't join in the game but they won the game with 4-2 including Klose's 2 goals who is the ace striker of Germany.
He also recorded hat-trick in the opening game in World Cup 2002, he is really tough guy at the opening game. The other two goalers showed us a high level shoots. Besides, German mid-field controled most of the game, I think forward squads showed great performance considering the level of enemy Columbia.
However, defenders were not so good. 2nd goal was offside as far as I watched on TV but both 1st and 2nd goals were taken with the same pattern that were the mistake trying to offside trap. I worry about this defense when they go to final stage against strong countries.
