(Int'l Friendly) Germany vs Israel 05.31.2012 [R]

No Khedira/Özil would result in this?

----- Bender ----- Gündogan
Reus ------- Götze ------- Podolski/Schürrle

 

I'm not going to be able to watch both friendlies live. Does anyone know where I can download full matches?

 

Where are you getting your info? The kicker article states Oezil has "many games in the bones" ala needs a rest.

Also nothing is said about the LW position whether it be Schuerrle, Podolski or Goetze starting.

 

Yes. Can I post a site like this here or will I be severely punished because it's only semi-legal?

 

I dont think Merte does deserve to have a starting spot in the actual tourney. EVEN IF if he recovers quickly.

Mats is sacrosanct. Hope to see Boateng will take the other spot. Hope we wont get to see Madstuber.

LAHM - HUMMELS - BOATENG - HÖWEDES

 

I also thought Lahm would play..

Would be really interesting to see the lineups tomorrow and the subs.
I want good things from the rookies

 

Did he mention Klose, and Podolski? Cant view it from work.

 

Is this going to be on US TV? If so what channel, because I'm not finding it on ESPN.

 

I just found out it will be on GolTV. HTH.

 

Not on any espn affiliates or online..

So I'll watch stream site tomorrow..

 

Streams?

 

Ah! It's 12:00 ET not ECT.

 

You can always watch it on zdf.de, you just need a german proxy server. Also there are VLC plugins to watch german tv (just google VLC and Wilmaa tv)

 

Repped. IMO Merte and Badstuber are about the slowest CB´s we have. I´d love to see Jerome take it with Hummels. But Höwedes as LB? I dunno about that...

 

Ah, yeah the order was LB - FB - FB -RB. I wouldnt wanna see a right-footed actual fullback taking over the LB spot. In general, I prefer Lahm on the left.

The only thing that speaks for Madstuber is he's a left-foot. But hell, Mats does play the left fullback spot so much better. As you rightfully said, Merte lost his and Madstuber never had speed.

The probable reason for Mertesacker and Schmelzer playing is that Lahm and Boateng got time to recover.

 

I think our official back four should be..

Lahm hummels badstuber schmelzer

Boetang on bench rotating in.

I hope schmelzer has a good game and can show he's starting material..

Is schmelzer a natural left back btw? Or am I just putting players wherever,.

 

Kicker lineup as follows:

Wiese – Höwedes, Mertesacker, Hummels, Schmelzer – Khedira, Gündoğan – Reus, Özil, Podolski – Klose

Using this I have written my prematch preview:

Yes, the only actual LB in this team other than Lahm. Boateng and Höwedes are both natural CBs.

 

It is interesting that the friendly between Denmark and Brazil which is going on right now is in HSV's stadium. How did that happen ?

 

AM SPITZE!
