Napolitanias all over the world thank you for your contribution; they are still trying to forget Mario's same-half hat trick against them. A missed penalty on their home soil gives them hope, but then the almost furthest goal in CL history haunts them back...
True, but again Napoli are not a good italian example their deffence is not great.
Anws Klose was good in Serie A, but does any one now if he scored against the big teams ?
Juve,Milan..

Neuer > Buffon

Badstuber = Barzagli
Hummels > Bonucci
Boateng > Abate
Khedira > Montolivo
Schweinsteiger = Pirlo (usually Schweinsteiger is better, but he's currently out of form due to injury)
Podolski < de Rossi (de Rossi was the closest thing to a LM)
Oezil > Cassano
Mueller > Marchisio
Gomez > Balotelli
On paper, Germany should win easily. But of course, football is a team game. And there's luck & cheating involved.
