Next is World Cup 2010.
Ballack is 31 and next World Cup will be the final international event for him.
His team was 2nd place at UEFA Champions League in 2001-2002 season as a member of Leverkusen, 2nd place at FIFA World Cup in 2002 as Germany and 2nd place again at UEFA Champions League in 2007-2008 season as a memer of Chelsea.
Besides these, he was 3rd place at FIFA World Cup 2006. He missed 1st place at the closest place.
And he got the name of "Silver Collector".
Two-time 2nd place at UEFA Champions League, 2nd and 3rd at FIFA World Cup and 2nd place at this time EURO 2008. These are really great record but the historic player always won 1st place at one or more of the above tourment.
Just like Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Cruijff, Platini and Zidane.
I hope Ballack will holp up world cup and leave his name in the history in 2010.
