I didn't noticed his bulge when I was watching the match between FC Bayern (Ballack's club) and Schalke, but at about 10-20 minutes into it I did!

At first I thought he was just packing, but during the second half of the match, the bulge wasn't there and what was there wasn't as bulging (or tenting) as it was during the first 45 minutes of the match. I used to have the tape of the macth, but it's long gone. It was about 2 years agot that this happened.

Me thinks the footballer was hard -- or atleast sporting a chubby.

He's official Web site is www.MichaelBallack.com

This is a sort of fron view of the bulge...

He might just be a big-baller. Geez, I need to start watching soccer.

Don't know if he's hard or packing, but that's one gorgeous man.

Weird. I flicked through about 500 or so pics on a Michael Ballack image Google and couldn't find a single one with anything resembling a bulge.

I did find out that MB has a thing for teammate Hammann

And navel seems to have gone from an

out-sie

to an

in-sie

Too much of that good German food maybe.

On the whole I prefer his teammate on the 2002 world cup team Torsten Frings who's about as loveable as they come, constantly hugged and hugging everybody on the team.

[may have to try copy/paste the geocities link]

That's why I think he was hard when these screen caps were made. His team was in the U.S. last month playing another Euro team (FOX Sports World aired it live) and he wasn't bulging there as he is in this pictures.

I found these at a Yahoo! group and couldn't belive it when I saw them 'cause I had a video of the match.

Ever since that match, he's "bulge" hasn't been as tented as it is in this pictures.
