Yesterday’s defeat was not the first time in his career Ballack has lost a major final
In 2002, he was in the Bayer Leverkusen team which went down 2-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final
He also lost in the league cup final to Tottenham in February, 2-1,add that to Germany's loss in 2002 in the world cup finals ,the loss to man u in the champions league final,also another loss with bayern leverkusen in the German league cup final to schalke04 sometime in 2002.Add that to yesterday's final and it'll make 6 times he's lost in finals, is he jinxed or what?

You might call me superstitious or something but if i was Joachim Low,i wouldn't have played him in that final,at least until we are a goal up or something, what do u think?

If you were Joachim . . . .


Does Joachim believe in the term 'jinx'?

the guy's just badluck, and he's such a wonderful player, he must have bin, you know, jazzed

Ballack I must confess is jinx cause he loses the finals like a kid loses his toys, If i was the German coach I would have told him to stay out of the staium then when the match is over he can come in cause Ballack is Bad Luck once he starts the final match they lose.

I thank God that REAL MADRID did not buy himself if not,

The consequences would have been disastrous.

I think its mere coincidence that he loses finals or better still he has ben unlucky to play for the weaker team in the finals.

I beleive you conveniently forgot that he won several league and cup doubles at Bayern Munich

the dude is referring to MAJOR tournaments

also another loss with bayern leverkusen in the German league cup final to schalke04 sometime in 2002.

I saw this in his post

i dont think it has anything to do with playing for a weaker team.in 2002 bayer leverkusen was clearly the best team in germany yet in the space of 2 weeks they lost the German cup final,uefa champions league final and bundesliga trophy after leading the table for a better part of the season, Germany is certainly not a weak team and if you say chelsea is then you definitely must be from another planet, lol
