I didn’t mean to give a snippy answer about drawing today, the Germans are our friends obviously. Still, you do have to be careful to trust your opponent. Also, there could be fallout if two teams just went out and were obviously time-wasting and passing it to each other. It would be negative PR and if Algeria saw that, I’m sure they’d double up against Russia to face Germany. Yes, Germany is 10 times better than Algeria on paper but the game is played on the grass.
And I wouldn’t seriously suggest colluding for a draw.
Well, people won’t take kindly to this and Ballack just predicted Germany.
