Shades of Tahar ??

I see that Ballack is going to sue Kevin Prince Boateng (they're on opposite sides in an upcoming WC group game) over Saturday's injury because he says Boateng did it on purpose to put him out of the World Cup.

 

I could well believe it tbh.

"On purpose" to what end?

"On purpose" to what end?

 

Ghana and Germany being in the same qualifying group I guess.

says who?

 

Ballack, who will miss out on what would have been his third World Cup, flew to Sicily on Monday after a scan revealed a tear of one ankle ligament and a partial tear on another that will leave him out of action for eight weeks.

On Tuesday he said there was no need for bad blood, telling reporters: "Of course, I am very angry and disappointed but in football one should let it go," he said.

Looks like he might have changed his mind since then.
