German captain Michael Ballack delivered the goods with a scorcher of a free kick in the 49th minute which put the Germans through to the quarterfinals. Seriously, that thing looked like it was still accelerating when it hit the back of the net. On Thursday second place Germany will face Group A winners Portugal in a rematch of World Cup 2006's third place playoff match which the Germans won 3-1.
