GERMANY FANS - PLAN YOUR 2010 WORLD CUP TRIP & FOLLOW THE TEAM
Germany has a chance to excel in South Africa during 2010. As always,
the Germans play concrete, all around soccer.
Michael Ballack leads a team that is full of outstanding players, but
yet need the experience and skill to make it all the way. If their temperament
is right, they can improve on their third place finish in the 2006 World
Cup.

"We've been very successful in the past, and that's an inspiration to
the next generations. You only have to look at Germany's record at major
tournaments. We won the World Cup in 1954, '74 and '90, and the European
Championship in '72, '80 and '96. We've made it through to finals at
least as often. We've grown up with the conviction that Germany are
always good enough to reach the Final. We're definitely among a group
of countries with a chance of taking the Trophy. We were third at the
World Cup and second at the EURO, so our goal for 2010 is to make the
Final and win the Trophy," says Philipp Lahm.
