If there ever was a thread where tl;dr applied, it would be this one. I for one hope something completely shocking happens now, like Loew losing his mind and going two striker. It would provide pages and pages of hilarity for sure.
A 2 striker formation with Gomez and Klose up top, while Podolski and Schweinsteiger cover the wings.
Rensing in goal, while Kroos gets to play a somewhat free role in front of (and sometimes behind) the defensive line. Kroos' main task is to chase, mark and take Pirlo out of the game. This applies to every match, including all the ones that aren't played against Italy. In those games, Kroos will have to run around like a headless chicken, desperately searching for the missing Pirlo.
