Hope I didn't miss anyone out as that was off the top of my head.


Anyone know why trochowski and odonkor are not in the squad?

I think huth is injured right?

[ForeverRed]

Yea Huth has been injured for a couple of weeks now.

Probably starting line up:


--------------------------Lehmann-----------------------

Friedrich (Fritz)--------Metze-----Mertesacker---------Lahm (Jansen)

-----------------------Frings (Hitzlsperger)------------------

Schneider-(Schlaudraff)--------------------------Schweinsteiger

--------------------Ballack (Borowski)-----------------------

---------Gomez (Kuranyi)----------------Klose (Hanke)-----------

[BlinderPassagier]

Is there anyway for North Americans to see this match, or any other Germany matches for that matter? Never hurts to ask early! :)

Odonkor is missing due to an injury, dunno what's up with Trochowski. He hasn't played the last match for Hamburg, but will apparently be on the bench when they'll face Berlin tomorrow afternoon.

Aren't there any German TV channels in the US?

:eek:

As far as I know there's only DW in Canada.

Internet sources would be nice, but the ZDF and channels like them, only broadcast online to Europe! :mad:

software required are on the left (only small downloads)

I use ppstream and tvants


But this match will probably be on ESPN here as germany are suddenly popular after the world cup. It should be on ESPN north america as well.

we didn´t play like that for years(with ballack as OM) and we won´t vs switzerland.

Ballack and Frings will both be DM´s with ballack being a little bit more offensive minded.

Besides from that i agree.

Yeah, in the world cup it was ballack and frings in the middle but neither one more forward than the other. Depending on the situation, I think one of them would roam forward and the other would stay back. They can both do both things.

Right, but because Ballack goes forward more and is the more offensive player I put him in front of Frings.

No doubt they can alternate, its a big reason Germany have been doing so well recently.

Unless they change the programming from now until then, ESPN is not showing this game. As a matter of fact, ESPN is not showing any football games.

The only channel that is showing any of the Euro 2008 qualifiers and friendlies is Setanta Sports - North America. Unfortunately, they are showing Sweden & Egypt, Poland & Slovakia, France & Argentina, & San Marino & Northern Ireland. Though they are not showing Germany, this channel has shown all of Germany's qualifying games.

Best bet to watch this game is via live stream on the internet.

[BlinderPassagier]

Live stream is just fine. Thanks for the link.

[Eric_101491]

Can't wait for this one. I have a good friend who's a Swiss exchange student so hopefully Germany shows who is better. Does anyone think there could be draw or loss?

everything is possible in friendly matches. Germany could even loose 0-5. But it´s more likely they will win ofcourse.

[prymetyme]

Great chance to see someone except Poldi up front, really a try out for Gomez I think.

espn australasia has been showing qualifiers and friendlies forever.

Another question - Where is Kehl?

[IlTedesco]

He's been injured for several months and has just returned to playing.

[squidward123]

Wasn't he back playing for dortmund before metzelder was? So if metzelder made the squad then kehl should have too.

Unless they thought someone else was better.

[Hendrik]

Nah, he made his first game after a seven-month break today.
