If you start el torero perhaps. Unless you are planning to fix a roof or bring down a comm tower, I don't think the Torrero would help much.

Just wondering what Mustafi did wrong last match to deserve being benched in every single formation prediction I saw.

His tweet about Albania
Jokes apart, I've included him in fact I've put Hummels in CDM... or maybe as a RB and Hummels back to his natural position.

My formation:

He sucked. Big time. Boateng was doing triple duty for the entire match. Hell, at one point he was near the corner flag and I just thought, God, this is truly awful.

I think Mustafi will play in at RB and Howedes will be shifted to the left in place of Hector. That would make a formidable defensive unit. The attackers will need to be more "awake" than the first game though with defensive-minded fullbacks behind them.

Löw will want to keep at least one attack-minded fullback in the squad. Müller suffered greatly from having the utterly inept Höwedes play behind him. I wonder, if Germany wins against Poland, will they try a three-man defense in their final game?

Loew's advocate...

There's a Euro winning lineup right there

I see what you did there. Maximise the number of Bayern/ex-Bayern players and you get your best possible team. Can for Khedira?

The sad thing is that he was 30.

It's not that he did anything wrong as much as that Boateng-Hummels won Germany the world cup, Hummels is the more established defender, he is probably better despite Mustafi's season, and we are now biased towards him.

The way I see it, last time they met, Germany won 3-1 and was pretty mediocre at that time. Now, Schweini and Hummels are fit, the team is starting to pick up steam, and I see them winning this game, but it also heavily depends on the lineup. Low must play with a striker, not Gotze, and Howedes has to be replaced at RB, possibly by Mustafi (although he didn't play well in the WC at that position). Lewandowski and Milik might be a hassle up front, but hopefully Hummels and Boateng can cope. I don't see the Polish defense stopping Germany too well.

technical ability might not be enough to beat the Poles.
One needs brains and a lot of heart to that... The Poles will be on fire ... they see Germany as a big enemy...

CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO START!!!!

Most things point to Germany winning so all I can do is hope we make a surprise here. I think Poland will score but I think Germany will also score so Im betting 2:1 for Germany or if we're lucky - 1:1.

Just wondering, do you normally sympathise with the German team?
