Post probable starting lineups along with the 3 players most likely to come on during the game. PK Kickers as well. Germany PK Ballack
Germany PK: Ballack, Podolski, Schweinsteiger, Borowski (actually almost anyone can take the penalty, however most likely it will be Ballack)
Ballack never missed a penalty. So when the game is close and the penalty can decide the game.-->Ballack When the game is over anyway, everyone in the midfield/forward is good in shooting penalt.
My expected Germany starting lineup: ---------------Lehmann----------- Friderich---Mertesacker---Metzelder---Lahm (or Jansen) Schneider--Frings(AM)------Ballack(AM)-----Schwenisteiger(or Borowski) -------------Klose--------Podolski Most probable three substitutions : Odonkor,Kehl,Borowski (or even Neuville if needed) PK:M. Ballack
