Don't let the big name get to you, Germany's midfield is weak right now. Ballack is out and without him the only big threat in the midfield for Germany is Bastian Schweinsteiger.

So if the US can play like they did last year at the confeds cup by playing great D and counterattacking like mofo's it is possible that they can beat the Germans.

lol Kroos and Özil are insanely talented.

Podolski could even be thrown into midfield

Maybe, I'm just saying it's gonna be a little tough without their captain. And that they are beatable.

Oh of course they are lol. Any team is beatable in the tournament. But you never know maybe the absence of Ballack will give another young player to shine and come out of nowhere like Ribery in 2006.

Im trying to look at it in a positive way as much as it sucks to be missing Ballack.

been wondering that one myself, now germany can snatch him up in the future should they so choose. He hasnt played a first team match for either side, so his future is yet to be decided.
