Germany 1 - Poland 0

Germany looked better without Ballack. A perfect result for Ecuador. If they beat Costa Rica they advance.

I watched the second half in a restaurant. All the tables were full but the patrons were silent. Each German miss brought no reaction from anybody save the gringo. When Neuville scored, however, the room erupted.

Polite Ecuadorans. Let´s see how you behave tomorrow morning.
