first half of : germany vs poland 1-0

with 15 mins of the first half but no significant attempts from both sides. germany look indecisive for few minutes and their solid figure captain, michel ballack looks secluded in his own half. i have a feeling that it won't be as interesting as the first game. at the 20th mins podolski put germany ahead. a simple mistake by the assistant referee allowing klose to pass the ball to lucas podolski. well, germany got away with it, so i guess they are lucky. fair performance by podolsky and his compatriot miroslav klose. just to remind you that these two strikers had also been paired before which is during WC 06 to be exact. it is pretty quiet from poland at the time being, whilst germany put forward their decent play. a good strike from poland's captain but he missed it not by much. poland look lethal in the last 10 mins and germany were caught sleeping. another chance from germany, after a marvelous run by fritz from the right flank and put a remarkable pass toward gomez but klose was unable to convert it to a result. nearing to a half time, but the two teams haven't found their strong counter attack just yet. i am expecting a tough and tight match in the second half. so let's wait for it...

second half: germany vs poland 2-0

why do i have to stay up late? it's merely because of my passion for football. i want to know how the game ends, so i have something to stay at the end of the day. i need to make myself aware that tomorrow is a big day for us and i can't wait the day to see "it". anyway,let's back into the game. in the beginning of the second half, michel ballack nearly put germany ahead once again, but his effort bounced the wrong way. hope i will see some actions in the second half. ballack put in a pin point pass from left but klose penalized for pushing an opponent. a decent header though from klose, unfortunately it was wide. poland nearly got a goal if the striker  hadn't strike it to the post. a very lame decision from the referee as the poland's striker was level and not offside as the referee decided. this is a game i love to watch. at the edge of the 69 mins, ballack hit the target but his strike was brilliantly saved by boruc. another decent oppurtunity by the germans. perhaps, i would see another goal? but the question is, who will get it?.well, my ultimate question was answered in matter of seconds. podolski hit it one more time after klose stumbled upon nothing but himself. looks like germany are starting to feel at home by giving more and more pressure toward poland's goalpost. it would be interesting to see if poland could steal one goal from germany and let the rest of the game cruising like one of a hell of combat. aha... my words proven to be even saltier than the wide ocean. poland nearly had their first goal hadn't been the german goalkeeper saved the day. he was well positioned and was able to palm away a direct shot from poland winger. podolski had his chance but still wide. i was hoping to see him scored so, he will get his hatrick. well, i guess i have to see hatrick some other time. a good start for germany as they bagged 3 points and waiting the next round with happy faces, well done joachim loew. until i c u....
