Ah well, it was good as long as it lasted for Metzelder. Pepe back from an injury, being out for a month, and Metzelder is benched, despite his good performances against the big clubs Barcelona and Valencia recently.
Funny article about good old Loddar Matthäus (German)... http://www.spox.com/de/sport/fussba...matthaeus-maccabi-netanja-george-clooney.html Lothar ...threatens to come back to Germany and work in the Bundesliga.
More interest http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=607277&sec=transfers&cc=5901 Savio Nsereko's agent claims West Ham are showing interest in signing the Brescia striker. Nsereko, the Germany Under-19 international, could be bought and loaned back to the Italian club, according to his representative. "The sporting director of West Ham is Gianluca Nani, former sports director of Brescia, who knows very well the qualities of Savio," Bastianelli told Tutto Napoli.
So, Polanski didn't play yesterday and Getafe lost. Anyone know why he didn't play? Out of favour, suspended or injured? I'm looking forward to follow Kruska's career in Belgium as well. I don't only care about (potential) German NT players. As a matter of fact I don't care at all how Ballack does.
Polanski was suspended (5th booking). Ballack did very shit yesterday. By the look of things, I don't think he'll extend his contract, and probably leave Chelsea in the summer.
He will still probably get nominated, even if he plays like shit. It would be nice to see him not get nominated and see if Loew can shake things around a little bit.
Chelsea is a mess, players that should be shining normally aren't under Scolari. I wouldn't stop nominating Ballack because of that, he is still a top player who can be valuable to the NT.
All the transfer rumours don't seem to faze young Nsereko, he scored twice for Brescia today: http://www.gazzetta.it/speciali/2008/calcio/SerieB/matchsheet_c84_m400249.shtml
Great stuff Savio! Come on, keep going, make us proud! Can't wait to see him playing regularly, no matter where he moves to (except the graveyard of German talent, of course...).

Deal is done, Nserenko joins West Ham for £ 10 million (11 million €).* source: kicker These EPL clubs are financially sick, 11 million € for a 19 years old. Well, all the best for him in the EPL.
I agree, I don't like it. I would have prefered if he stayed in Italy but I hope he proves me wrong in England. People are going to be expecting a lot from him with this price tag.
