6th day, all the team finished their first matches and 2nd match began. The first one was Germany vs Poland. For Germany, winning means that they will goes to final stage while for Poland, lose-game means that they'll have no chance to go to final stage.
German captain Ballck came back to the pitch, and Germany controled the mid-field completely. Poland counterattacked occasionally, but from the beginning to the end, Germany dominated the game. However, they couldn't get goals after 1st and 2nd half finished. Neuville got a goal in stoppage time, and Germany won with the score 1-0!!
Actually, it was one-sided game but also exciting game. Ballack doesn't have beautiful tricks or technique but he made it better the ball distribution to both side, and he also gave correct passes to forward from the back of mid-field, which made German attack better. He also made German defense safe with cutting enemy's ball at mid-field, then there was no dangerous scene for German defense today.
