World Cup 2010: Ghana's Kevin-Boateng ruled out of German return after Ballack tackle
Posted On Tuesday, 8th June 2010
Kevin-Boateng ruled out of German return after Ballack tackle
Portsmouth administrator Andrew Andronikou claims Kevin-Prince Boateng has dented his hopes of a move to Germany as a result of his controversial tackle on Michael Ballack.
Boateng has found himself public enemy No.1 in Germany after his tackle on Ballack in the FA Cup final against Chelsea ruled the Germany captain out of this month’s World Cup.
Boateng went as far as issuing a public apology after coming under fire in Germany and his challenge has seen suitors from the Bundesliga cool their interest in the midfielder.
Andronikou revealed a couple of German sides were keen on signing the German-born Ghanaian international before the FA Cup final, but have dropped their interest since the incident with Ballack.
“Boateng was being hawked around Germany – and it has since cooled after that particular tackle,” Andronikou told The News.
“We had a meeting with two German clubs before the Cup final. Well, they are not ringing any more.
“I certainly believe that is down to Boateng’s tackle.
“Football is governed by emotion and opinion and that can change overnight. It seems to have happened with this player.
“I remember quite vividly when he first came to me talking about supposed interest in moving back to Germany a few months ago.
“That has certainly changed from his point of view – and it would appear from German clubs.”

don worry boateng after all better clubs in England and Spain will soon seek your signature.
That’s how all white people are. They will do anything and everything to suppress you if they see you as a treat to their advancement. I will not even be surprise if these people have deliberately mistreated Essien to make him unfit for fear that we may play them at 1/16. They know too well that with Essien, they don’t stand a chance. But I have news for them, without Essien, one thing has change but one thing remain unchange. That is, without Essien the job has become a little more difficult but the other thing that has not change is, be it 1/16 or 1/8, we will surely beat them.
As for the Germans, I say to them, they should sharpen their bowls and arrows, Guns and warships, jet fighters and drones. Because, the battle line is drawn and when the whilstle is blown, we will be coming at them like the way Winston Churchill[Prime minister of Britain] and Frank D. Roosevelt[US president] did to them in second world war in 1942
What a shame!!!…..these guys can be so petty!it’s indeed a shame.i rest my comment.
HahahahhahaahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaI love your comments Rich. These white ppl better come prepared. Go Ghana,Go Black Stars
The Germans should to hell. If Boateng was white all these fucked talks would have ended …racist SOBs. They always want to oppress you, and if you don’t give them the chance they try to eliminate you. NO FEARS BOATENG. Many teams in England would be fighting to sign you after the world cup, and you are always welcome to Ghana to chill out!
I like your comments RICH
NONSENSE, Boateng can easily sign a contract everywhere in the world of football,
Fifa hasn,t banned him for any wrong doing
Ghana can also appoint him to any managerial post
in the GFA when he likes
How more he appears public enemy in Germany, how more comfortable and coozy he will live in Ghana or England.
Must Drogba be a public enemy in Ghana for injuring Essien?
Must the Japanees player who injured Drogba be a public enemy in Cote D,voire?
your apology on the spot of field of play was way enough, lets enjoy your positive decision of your allegiance to your fatherland
God Bless you and your career
who the hell this Germans think they are? They should go to hell for all i care…Fucking ignorance fools in the World of happiness..Man,i mean Kelvin,live life. They aint God and that cant be the end of Ballak but his end of WORLD CUP..And so what? Is he better than others who get injury by other plays in the world…German give me a break
Is A shame to Germans no wonder…believe me this is how they are,if God bless you no one can keep you down,i grew up here in Germany Berlin…no matter how good you in Education they will never give you a good position of your level.All they try is to use somethings to find you down.they will never say good things to our young brothers and sisters here..how long will whiteman stop disrespect a blackman
Some of you are so stupid especially RICH. How easy it is to label everything as racist. Haven’t you considered the fact that if Kevin was to go back to Germany it wouldn’t benefit him or the club in any way. Their club supporters will never welcome him which will damage his performance, so what is the point of those German clubs keeping interests in him. Ask yourselves this question, what is the main reason why Jerome (Kevin’s half brother) said he is buoyant to leave Germany and sign for Man city? When you find out the answer that will make you see that signing Kevin to a German club is no longer a good idea. Some of you don’t use your brains before you speak. and in case you guys have forgotten, Kevin himself is HALF WHITE and HIS WIFE is also a white German, so all this talk of racism is ridiculous. Not every German is racist just like not every black person is lazy as people say. So RICH shut up you moron!
some people have to go to refresh their minds before commenting on issues. Red is one of them.
Has he heard of the way the whites treated Eto’o and other blacks who ply their trade in Europe?
He should go back, make a research and come back again
Kevin will get a better club in Europe to play for. Man U, Chelsea, Man City, Barca, Madrid etc are all waiting so the German clubs should back off.
Is he the only player whose tackle has send a player out of play?
What a world we live in.
Kevin, don’t mind anybody, they want to distract your attention from the world cup. Stay focus and your star will shine.
Kevin will even score against Germany. In that case what will they do? will Germany ban him from entering Germany when he scores against that country?
Shame
And these people call themselves civilised? They’re treating this poor kid this way because of some unintentional tackle?
@ Dada Kwaku
That’s why I said people like you should think before they speak. Look at the stupid nonsensical statement you made. First you said, have I heard of the way whites treated Eto’o and then you said Kevin will get a better club in Europe which you mentioned Barca as one of them. Well Dada Kwaku, Barca is the same club Eto’o was getting racially abused by some Barca fans which you clearly did not know and you are telling me to do my research KWASIA!!!!!! Who is the one who needs to go and refresh their mind now you bush monkey! It’s you who needs to do your research and not comment on such issues when you clearly know nothing!
@ RED
“actions they say speaks louder than words” You claim to be very wise and intellectual, yet your writtens are full of insults. Take it from me, you don’t have to result to insult make your point or to get attention. If your point makes sense to reader, they will take it and some may even coment on it. I will appeal to you to learn from guys like: Keith and Kenneth from Germany, Access, Sabacious,Kenneth county and among others who alway have some useful imformation to share.
Regarding your quetion about Jerome Boateng, my anwser is his move, was initiated long before Ballck and Prince incidents occurred. So, your argument is void from beginning. Secondly, he moving because, the current Manchester City’s owner[Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan] who is half brother of the president of United Arab Emirate [UAE] has a lot of money to buy player. So he can afford to price Jerome away from the Germans. Besides, the primier league is better than the German league.
Who told you Blacks are lazy?. By the way, I never said whites are racist. I used the world suspress. But I know whites are racist. If you want to debate about whites being racist and blacks being lazy, you name the venue and the time and I will show up. But come with facts and figures not liars
Red do you listen to yourself as you write? I am forced to ask this question because you make no sense. That is all I want to tell you. For your information your Germany is the worst place to live as a nonwhite, it is the last place I will live. Kevin B would surely find a better contract and team than what your Nazi Germany can offer so please shut the hell up.
@ RICH
I’ve read your comments before and you are someone who finds it difficult to read and understand text. You jump to foolish conclusions and you have constantly bashed Germans for being racist so don’t try and deny it now that I have pointed it out. The only racist person here is you. And tell me when I supposedly “CLAIMED” I was wise and intellectual, although I gather by you stating I said that in actual fact it is you who really thinks that of me. Well one thing I know for sure is that I’m more intelligent than you. You are an ass licker, you follow all those you have mentioned around and agree with everything they say because you have no intellect of your own.
Next about Jerome, once again RICH you have shown you lack of capability to comprehend English. I specifically ask a simple question which was “what is the main reason why Jerome said he is buoyant to leave Germany?” the answer you gave did not answer my question and you went on blabbing irrelevant nonsense to try and strengthen your incorrect answer which was quite hilarious and highly irrelevant. Your answer only confirmed your low level of comprehension (0 marks for that answer). The correct answer in full is, Jerome is keen to leave Germany, where he says his family is being hounded by the media after his half-brother Kevin-Prince’s foul on Michael Ballack in the FA Cup final which ruled the Germany captain out of the World Cup. Jerome does not like the way the media have been shadowing his family members wherever they go.
In his own words:
“It disturbs me the way our family name is being dragged around in public and my family is not being left in peace,” he said.
“It is not on that my big brother George suddenly has cameras on his doorstep and he is being forced to stay indoors. This has overstepped the mark. It has been ridiculous.”
He even called the police to ask them to remove photographers and reporters from his family home, but the answer he received shocked him even further.
“They said I have just got to live with that, being a Boateng,” he claimed. “That has gone too far. That is not on. What is the world coming to when my family cannot go out for a coffee or my brother cannot play with his children in the garden peacefully?”
and lastly Mr RICH learn how to read, when I said not every black person is lazy, it was an example of a stigma, a perception that some white people have of all black people. I used that as an example to show you how ridiculous and untrue it is to say all black people are lazy. Judging by your reaction my example worked. So you should see that saying all white people are racist is ridiculos and untrue. I also added that Kevin himself is half white and his wife is also white which should have told you something. Never mind Mr RICH, I would not hold it against an illiterate like you for missing the point and failing to understand my examples.
@ texas
and as for you texas, you are another illiterate. In fact you are worse than RICH. Can someone with a grasp of the english language speak to me. I make no sense TO YOU texas because people like you don’t have any intelligence and you struggle to read and understand english let alone write it. I advise you texas and your disciples to refrain from displaying your lack of education. Texas you are a prime example of an illiterate everything you write is nonsense, I suppose what you write is only for animals to understand because that is what you are. And who told you I lived in germany???? Typical mad dim-wit stating unfactual things that you’ve plucked from your empty brain.
There he goes again! Red what is the level of your education? It seems most of the commentators on this forum would attest to the fact that you are the least educated person here. What do you for living? How come no one agrees with you on this forum? Because you suck!
@ RED
You don’t seized to amazed me! Go back and read the coment you just made. It will anwser your quction as to why people says whites are racist expecially Germans. Where in the world have you ever hear such madness you just described in your coment about how these Boars are tormenting the Boateng family. Does that tells you something?
You did not refute the fact that Jerome’s transfer started long before Ballack and Prince incidents happened. So your argument still remains void.
Yes I said you claim to be better than wise than anybody because insult anybody who don’t agree with you. And the tone and manner that you will say it tells it all.
You also supported your argument with by saying that Price is half white and his wife is white so whites can’t be racist. Just so you know, President Obama’s mother is white and himself is half white while his grand mother is white. But he referrered to his grant mother as a “tipical white woman Who once confers about her fears of a black man passing her on the street” Analyse this statement and be the judge.
As to whether you are wiser and intellegent than me its of no sequence to me. I let readers be the judge.
If you care to know, the fact that I read those people’s I mentioned coment does not mean I agree with them on everything. But I know they make sense and share imformation most of the time. By the way I am a firm believer that one person can not be write all the time. With that being said, even if you of all people make a point and is a good point, I will take it.
Its about all the attention that I will give to you for now. Because I need to watch my favorite player in the NBA. Kobe Bryant.
I don’t need people to agree with me to feel that I’m right in what I’m saying. Everything I have said is a fact and I have back it up with statements from the horse’s mouth. Like I said to RICH which also applies to you Texas, you are an ass licker, you seek other air head peoples approval, you have no valid opinion of your own, so it frustrates you when I state facts that you did not know and are not to your liking because I have proven that you talk rubbish and know nothing.
My level of education is much higher than yours because I was not brought up in the jungle by animals like you. You Texas are the most uneducated person here, time and time again you’ve proven your ignorance. You remind me of the cleaners I employed to polish up my office. They talk exactly like you that is how I can tell that you’re uneducated, poor and thick.
@ RICH
You must be related to Texas which explains why you are so dumb. You say one thing, I answer it and then you come back with something different totally forgetting what you wrote earlier. Now I suggest you read what you wrote from the top again. If you need help in comprehending, go ask your ape of a mother you little boy.
red I asked you a simple question: what is the level your education? Your the first person to call poor on this forum. You see how you give yourself away? This shows how uneducated you are. FYI I can take care of you sob and your entire family okay! Look if you show off what the fuck you think you have this forum is not the right place. It is a soccer forum. See how dumb you are? You are a joke!
@ texas
lol you are a joke. if you want i’ll give you my personal details (if you can afford and have the means of checking out my status) and we’ll see who has got more than who. you village rat, illegal coon.
@ Red
This the last time I will ever read or coment on your coments. Because you have over reached. Insulting people and calling people poor is out of bounce. I don’t associate myself with people like you. The “louder people they say are always the weaker once”
@ RICH
in your books they say that but not in mine, you ass licker go and suck texas’s balls you diseased begger.
they should give the younger once the exporsure to play in the world cup cos some of the players are dead bulls
whites will always be whites. cheer up ghanaba when a door is closed another door opens. greater opportunities await u. you score and kick germans out of world cup
aba why are you people quarelling and exchanging words over here.please lets behave like matured people stay blesses
Boateng you are a not a bastard. You have my love and respect. Black and proud. You can surely hold your own in any league in the world. So keep on going. The Lords of your great grandfather will continue to guide you. I am very proud of your courage and your hardwork for Africa.
