Ok, I've watched 15 games now, I think I'm ready to make a bet..
WC Record: 0-0-0
Selection: 1* on Poland +1.5 (-156)
Poland matches up much better with the Germans than they ever have with any South American-style team and with the emotion involved in this one, I expect them to look much better than they did against Ecuador. Poland should also have a large contigency on hand thanks to the game being played in Dortmund. Ballack's return is the big story, but how match fit is he and how well will he really stick to Klinsmann's gameplan now that he's off the bench? That said, the Germans are the better squad, so my prediction is Germany 2:1 Poland and I'll take the goal and the hook.
