Deutschland-Australia!

Surely the game of this day!!! What will the German line-up be? Will Low play Ozil, Kroos and Marin together against those Australian axemen? Let's hope Müller will start!

Too bad we won't be able to post about/write "Rooooolfeeeeeeeees TOOOOOOOOORRR!".

Weltmeisterschaftauftaktspielkatastrophe?

We'll rape all over them.

Them have a Dutch manager, like Bayern

Them will be prepared

How come Germany completely underestimates Australia?

Why are they so arrogant....?

What? If anything, Löw overestimated them in his comments, made them sound like world beaters. Nobody will underestimate them, Germans normally don't do that.

hehehe, can you imagine if Germany wins this cup? Spain and England would be traumatized for ever


PS- I am talking from my ass, I have no idea if their team is good, bad or shit. So for me anything can happen

the last 10 min i agree

A few friends are coming over later, so I won't be able to comment during the match. I will be back later on though.

Auf geht's, Deutschland!

Australia are probably very slightly worse than the USA but like USA they're likely to play well as a team and have a top class keeper and a couple of midfielders that could pose a few problems.

Is tonight the night germany are in danger of becoming a likeable team ?

I think it is

Ozil is more than enough to make me support em!

The Germans better win, i've got monies on them.

Lineup just officially confirmed:


-------------------Neuer----------------------
Lahm-Mertesacker-Friedrich-Badstuber
--------Khedira--Schweinsteiger----------
-Müller------------Özil------------Podolski-
-------------------Klose-----------------------


Glad to see Müller instead of Trochowski. Auf geht's, Deutschland!

i must admit,
that i'm tempted to play here.

"somebody stop mehhhhhhhhhhh".

Where do people think Özil is most dangerous? Starting in a central position like today, or attacking from either the right or left flank.

Looks good Blut. The centre mid will be key to your WC so it'll be interesting to see what it is like

Aussies

Schwarzer, Neill, Moore, Cahill, Colina, Emerton, Chipperfield, Wilkshere, Grella, Valeri, Garcia

Kewell not fit enough to start

He is playing on his ideal position. He is most effective when he has total freedom. He is very mobile, so he will move to the flanks all the time anyway.

But with Kroos in the squad, I'd play him in the centre behind the striker (because Özil is more mobile and a better dribbler), Özil on the left and Marin on the right. That would be my first choice attacking midfield.

Hope so COTR. Just want to see a good match. Later, guys!

I can see why Löw is reluctant to play all three of Özil, Marin and Kroos, although from a purists perspective it would be lovely to watch. Hopefully the likes of Marin will be effective coming off the bench. I suspect that trio would be more likely if your centre forward looked like more of a goal threat. As it is, Podolski playing from the left reminds me a little of how Pedro has been used at Barcelona this season, where he isn't the best footballer but offers a genuine goal threat from the left flank.

Enjoy the game.

Good point about Podolski gunner. Müller is actually a second striker, too. That's what some fans are criticising about that lineup, playing two supporting forwards on the wings, no real wingers. It's a very attacking lineup regardless.

Good thing about Müller however is his early pressing, putting pressure on the opposition defence and normally winning a lot of balls. Müller's ideal position is actually where Özil is playing. Hope there will be a lot of positional changes up front at least, will make things less predictable.

Thanks.

i wonder if those guys realise,or think about,
how much is being gambled on this game.

on one exchange alone,
never mind the bookies,
it's heading towards £10mill.
