Germany team news

Low has no injury worries ahead of the game, leaving his selection down to personal choice, with Manuel Neuer expected to play in goal despite some picking him out as a weak link.

He is also expected to stick with out of form Miroslav Klose ahead of Cacau in the lone striker's role, as well as partnering Manchester City new boy Jerome Boateng with Per Mertesacker at centre-back. Sami Khedira looks set to take Ballack's place in midfield.

Australia team news

Australia are likely to bring back Brett Emerton into midfield, with Jason Culina, who is set to win his 50th cap, moving from the right wing into the centre of the park.

Verbeek's biggest doubt comes over the fitness of key man Tim Cahill, with the Everton midfielder suffering from a neck problem that has seen him train alone during the week.

Injury-prone Harry Kewell has won his battle for fitness however and is likely to spearhead the Australian attack in what is likely to be a 4-5-1 formation.

I'll go along with that, would love to meet them in the second round, hopefully when we've hit our stride !

[Slim]

I am looking forward to the Aussies not getting hammered.....please please please please.

[King Kev]

I thought the other one was the official one!?

[Slim]

He did put effort into this one though, maybe a thread squishing is in order?

I'll need to get permission from Doomie first, I don't want him calling me Dad and accusing me of ruining people's fun again.

That's disappointing news, let's hope we get treated to a good game and a few goals for a change

5.0 to Germany would do just nicely, and hopefully Serbia will also beat them at least 5.0 so we dont have the embarrassment of being knocked out by the cunts in the 2nd round

bald defensive midfielder Marc Bresciano? me too. i've heard he's twice the holding mid Barry is. Top stuff.

cheers

[Dameerto]

Excellent! Badstuber starts the match. Germany aren't afraid to blood youngsters in tournaments at least. (His adventurousness might have something to do with him stating that he was quitting after the world cup though)

I do love you think the joke originated there, shame you weren't around or even heard of city when it did.
