Poland’s opening match would be against one of the strongest teams in the tournament, minus the King Kahn. But that should make no difference, as Lehmann will not be tested much in this match by the Polish attack, or so I expect. One interesting fact about the Polish squad is the quality lineup in front of the net. I am talking about the keepers. Two reserve keepers for top quality sides in the Premier league and another outstanding keeper in Artur Boruc, who deserves to start. Against Germany, they can afford to substitute the keeper after 70 minutes, when Boruc will be real tired. Fabianski / Kuszczak can hold on for twenty minutes with ease. That really is something the coach can think about. I should see this match before I can come to a conclusion about the other players in the side.
Germany should be looking at experimenting in the first half, and putting in their best team in the last thirty minutes. While Odonkor and Gomez can start, Podolski or Kuranyi can be rested for this game. Putting in Ballack after 65’ would also be a good option, just to keep him sharp for Croatia. The German defence could still do with the likes of Lothar. It is not as star studded, but I expect it to be effective and adaptive. And yay! I am looking forward to seeing Bastian Schweinsteiger in action after a long time. You know, following Bundesliga matches isn’t the craze here, yet!
Key Players for this match:
Germany: Forwards , Substitutes for the forwards
Poland: Boruc, Boruc, Boruc
Prediction:
1 – 0 or 2 – 0 in favour of Deutscheland.
