Klose Podolski Germany Every Goal 2006 FIFA World Cup

Frings. Jürgen Klinsmann right on the edge of his technical area urging his side forward. Schneider into Odonka. Odonka's cross. It's there! Victory to the Germans. Headlock is broken at last. Around the stadium the flags are being hoisted now because that could well be the goal to take Germany into the last 16. Schneider. It's a good ball in. They're stretching them here and also the president simply pulled them too far across and when it was wheeled back in for Miroslav Kloser he wasn't going to miss from there. He makes a habit of scoring in World Cup finals. It's his third of this tournament. That's to his five from four years ago. Torsten Frings once more and Schneider was trying the back heel to Friedrich behind him but it was cut up, nipped away but then won back again and Schweinsteiger. Balak. Little chip for Kloser to chase. Kloser's one of the goalkeeper. They get through. It's a second goal. He doesn't score in ones. Miroslav Kloser his second of the game. His second brace of the tournament. You add that to the hat trick he scored in 2002 against the Saudis and you know that once this man has the appetite for goal he rarely gives up scoring and Germany on the counter-attack. Schneider's across. You can feel the relief. Popular German goals locally that you will see. Lukasz Podolski under pressure to find his form. Slides in the third for Germany. There's no way back now for Ecuador. It all started at the other end with a shot from Sonorio that was blocked down. Look at the speed of the counter-attack. Schneider wanted it early. Got it early. It needed to be a good ball. It was perfect. The moment it's through the centre there are three around this area with Balak and then Kloser. The goalkeeper's made the stop but the ball is in the net. Sweden 0. They couldn't have dreamt of a better start. Podolski's 14th goal for his country. He scores one every two games and he's got two in four here in these World Cup finals now. The longer ball in there. Kloser hustling. It was bubbling around all over and although Isakson is involved here in coming out to get to the feet of the German player it's actually directed in. It may have gone in off of a Swedish head funnily enough but I think Podolski is going to claim it although it definitely went in off the Swedish defender. Lukic. Jürgen Klinsmann and the rest of the side. Joachim Lohde the assistant wanted and Germany's dream is getting better and better. Podolski across here for Miroslav Kloser. Oh it's a lovely little ball and Podolski's got two. Sweden 0. They've already got between Kloser and Podolski. If there was any doubt whatsoever about the youngster claiming the first goal there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever about the second and it's all going great for Germany. It's all going horribly wrong for Sweden. We've played just 12 minutes and the German flag is waving proudly and I can guarantee in those parks and strats as I was talking about there'll be millions of flags waving right now. Lovely little touch from Kloser and a sharp finish from Podolski. The two Polish-born players who lead the line for Germany are leading it to perfection. Balak. Chipton here at the level. Kloser rescues Germany. It's 1-1. He's not scored a headed goal for Germany for three years. He has now. Nearly on side. He is a leading goal scorer of the World Cup finals. Borowski flicked it on towards Kloser. The back level at 1-1. The game still in the balance. 55 minutes played. 0-0 the score. Schweinsteiger on the ball. No substitutions as yet so Schweinsteiger. We'll look for a shot in here. It's a thrilling shot in Schweinsteiger. He took aim and it was deadly aim. He scored in the pre-World Cup warm-up friendly matches but it's his first in seven games at the World Cup of 2006 and the 21-year-old here who has been building a reputation with Bayern Munich in the last two years has brought Germany a lead against Portugal. Germany 1, Portugal 0 and the name is Bastian Schweinsteiger. And he did it all himself. In fact he had to evade the Japanese referee who nearly fell over in his path but Schweinsteiger looks up here and really lets fly and that's what they mean about this ball moving in the air. Portugal are now one adrift. Podolski's on a race here with Ferreira. Kept his footing for a while. The card's coming out for Paulo Ferreira. Well I think to be fair to Podolski he tried to stay on his feet there but was caught by the challenge of the Chelsea right fullback there. Look at that he did try and stay on his feet and then down he went ultimately. So a free kick for Germany in another promising position. Can they go two ahead with Schweinsteiger's free kick? Interesting the likes of Klose are in there and Metzelder. He'll probably go for goal. Oh it's an own goal. It's two-nil Germany. Nobody in a white shirt can claim this one. Petit took out his boot and there wasn't a hope in the world for Ricardo. It's an own goal. Schweinsteiger is taking much of the credit but there's no way he can claim it. It is Petit's own goal. In other words a little own goal but a big one for Germany. Germany two, Portugal nil. Surely they cannot be stopped now. Sliced in by Petit from the Schweinsteiger drive. I think it may have been going wide otherwise but Petit has just probably handed third place to Germany. Neuville a lovely turn and a run away from the defender as well and then feeding the ball out to the hero of the night. Bastian Schweinsteiger who looks like scoring every time he lets fly. Does he ever, does he ever. Bastian Schweinsteiger this is your night. Well Jürgen Klinsmann could not have hit a better one himself. He's only been denied a hat-trick by the boot of Petit. Michael Schumacher beams as though he's just had the flag as he crossed the finishing line in a Grand Prix. Bastian Schweinsteiger with goal number nine in only his 35th appearance is a star of the future. He's a pretty good star of the present as well. How does he hit this one? Ricciardo never saw it. It absolutely flew into the net. It nearly burst it and we've got goals for you now but they're all German goals. Bend it like Bastian.
