Germany continue to look impressive, with Klose scoring two goals, the last one coming of a real creative chip by Ballack over the Ecuador defence, and KIose finished it off.
Klose now has 4 goals in this World Cup, and a total of 9. He looks more threatening than Ronaldo to overtake Gerd Muller’s record of 14 goals. Ronaldo has 12.
England now have to win or draw against the Swedes to get the top spot in Group B to avoid Germany. Their record against Sweden has been pretty abysmal. They have not won against the Swedes since 1968.
Dominic Fifield rallies the British, bring on the Germans, if so be it.
Update: Final, Germany over Ecuador 3-0; Poland over Costa Rica 2-1.
