Let's put it this way. Khedira has the talent. For all we know he might play well and we'd all be happy with him. However, I think it's unlikely, and so it would be a mistake to start him (unless he's doing really well in training).

I think it'll be Lahm and Schweinsteiger.

I think this is our best lineup for this game:



Perhaps Grosskreutz instead of Boateng/Merte (he'll play in midfield with other players moving around).

I hope that we don't see the false Nine... especially Goetze...

Some posts ago I said something similar as in those 10questions you've posted before; that is to have double marking on CR7. In a 4-3-3 formation. The RCM along the RB
The RCM can be either Grosskreautz with Lahm RB or Lahm RCM with Boa as RB.

let me do it again here: this is my ideal formation:

I would not mind Gorsskreutz to play as RCM and Lahm RB with Boa replacing Howedes as LB and Goetze instead of Poldi.
We need muscle - Low should have take yest match as an example, Italy just stayed calm and do what matters most while England played similar of what has Germany showed us in the last couple of years - finesse football which leads you nowhere.

I actually want to see Podolski/Schurrle as striker and Gotze on the left wing (which is his best position in my opinion), but I don't think Loew would do that so I'm hoping for the same players but in different positions. They will probably rotate during the game anyway. I have high hopes for Gotze in this world cup.

The RB question is the one I'm unsure about. On the one hand I think a Schweinsteiger-Lahm-Kroos trio in midfield would probably be the best midfield in the world cup. It can do everything well: win the ball, retain possession, create chances... On the other hand I am unsure about having anyone other than Lahm as RB, especially against Portugal.

I've been told that it's a normal procedure when players are not fit for the start of the world cup. He should be fine.
