Only because he's impressed with England? With the team they had, the only way to stop France great attacking line was to sit back and defend which England did very well. They were very organized at the back which was indeed quite impressive. I like Ballack but to me as a neutral, a defensive approach to the game could be as interesting as an attacking one. Negative approach or not, I want my team to win so I'm supportive of whatever tactics they use so long as they suit them.
Ballack was however spot on when he said Rossi chose Italy to get a chance of winning something lol, when will Americans get over Rossi? He isn't that good anyways.
