Kroos instead of Khedira(shit even instead of a 90% Schweini) but in the front 3 ?? what did we ever do ?

Didn't Low see Italy v.s Spain ?? It didnt work !!

With Kroos, yes, bu Podolski? I mean, Reus and Müller can do all the backpasses he does, but also occasionally threaten going forward.

These are the official lineups.

Moment of truth for Kroos.. but low better put him in CAM, kroos on the right? not at all right .. yeah ozil is godly at CAM but Kroos at RAM is gross

We should have had Muller instead of Podolski. 8 Bayern players would have looked nice

Loew high as f*ck, fielding weird lineup and sh*t.

On a more serious note, I think possession football is actually a pretty good idea. Italy kinda remind me of Germany in 2010 ( Attacking football etc.), and we all know how the match against Spain went back in 2010, I think we could see something similar (Boring as hell but efficient). Plus if we wanna silence Pirlo i think possession is the way to go.

I do agree with you there. No point in Poldi other than perhaps having a natural left footed player aiming to supply crosses to our big man upfront. Poorly justifiable though.

truth it they will be switching position a lot. I even expect Ozil to play more on the right than Kroos.

The German solution for the Italians

So this could be like another predictable and boring Bayern game this season where we have 80% possession but we just can't score

I hope Löw knows what is he doing but I'm not sure about this lineup.

Loew is risking a lot putting Kroos instead of Muller / Reus / Goetze there.

Also Gomez will have his chance to prove that he can score in big games.

He tends to spend quite a bit of time there during games. Gives him a better chance to pair up with the ST if the full back is a douchebag.
Kroos CAM? I guess he got all his unused rollover minutes for this one. Good luck to him btw.

Line ups seem to be out but why the hell is kroos a winger!?!?!??

Nice to see 7 Bayern players in the lineup though. I think Kroos might me a good choice. Müller hasn't been as consistent to start. Plus with Löw eventually being Bayern's coach its great he is relying on Bayern players. He could have made it all 8 Bayern German players -- but Özil is great and we could always make him a Bayern member

A strong Italy lineup. I hope we score first, that will change defensive Italian tactics.
