i don't feel for the "team" of course, but feel sorry that a decent player is missing his last world cup chance likely as not due a shocking tackle from a buffoon.

Yes, not a lover of the moaning German tt but a shame he's out for him personally.

It is a real shame for him, if it had happened to an England player we'd all be furious.

It's interesting that Boateng could be in the Ghana squad against Germany at the World Cup and his half brother could be in the Germany squad, I wonder if there will be any sort of backlash against them.
