I kind of disagree. Podolski is playing very good with the NT most of the times.

From the other hand, Marin was a disappointment in WC - I really expected more from him.
Kroos seems to has some potential, but a lot of are depending of how he performs this year with us.
Reus seems good but not good enough yet (at least for Euro 2012).

This is true, but he never plays well at club level. If Marin and Kroos have a good season with Werder and Bayern, then I can see Loew starting them instead. Sure, everyone knows that Poldi always shows up for the NT, but it's still a risk using a player who is just out of form most of the year. At least, that's how I see it.

The Euro is in two years. If Reus keeps developing the way he is, he'll be ready even to take a spot in the qualifiers. After all, if we judge on last season as well as the first couple games of this season, he certainly has the potential to be better than Podolski (who will likely flop again this season). Again, I'm not saying he is better than Kroos or Marin, both are players I really like, but taking in consideration Loew's tactics, I think someone like Reus, or even Grosskreutz, will ultimately fit better Loew's 4-2-3-1.

Just curious what position does Poldi plays for his Cologne???

He has played pretty much everywhere in attack, including right wing...

He played for 29 minutes, in 2 games. Especially vs Serbia he seemed too selfish and couldn't even pass a defender. He was a disappointment at WC, especially after those very good performances in friendlies before WC and in BL.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Marin
"...He would go on to play twice at the World Cup in South Africa, both as a substitute in Germany's 4-0 win over Australia and in the subsequent 1-0 loss to Serbia. However, after disappointing performances, notably in the game against Serbia, Marin was not selected for any more games in the tournament...."

HILARIOUS

IT turned out that 1 of the 2 goals of the King-Baudouin-Stadium was not exactly in the Middle of the goal line

this goal was 20 CM away from the Right position

they have found this out after they were preparing the stadium for a Rock Concert

one of the recent important games in that Stadium was Belgium vs Germany (0:1)

Belgian Statistics have checked out whether this 20 cm move has affected the Belgian NT , But Thank god , No Belgian Strike hit the post or was 20 cm close to the goal !!!
