Yeah Castro is one of my faves, such a talented lad. Not to forget he´s only 19 and played already his second season and senior NT, brilliant. I´m glad Spain screw it up with him, so he had made up his mind and choose us. Thanks again Spain
Helmes I also rate higly I mean he was injured a long time but scored nonetheless 14 goals in 19 matches, thats awesome. Now imagine what would have happen if he had a full injury-free season...Yeah it was "just" second BuLi but still, major striking talent. Kies disappointed me a bit, weak seson at all, hope he´ll do better the next. Anyway I think those strikers Löw had called up now could be the right ones for Euro as well (+ Poldi of course
). Just no more Hanke please

Troche is a good winger, he is similar to Schweini in a way, so he can be option.

I would have loved to see Tasci here instead of M. Friedrich, cuz Serdar is much like Mertesacker...so young but got such an old handed, calm defending style, woow. So now he has to wait til the England match, cuz his first call up is just a matter of time anymore. Same goes for Khedira, whom I call the little Ballack cuz he reminds me with his elegant playing style a lot on Micha though. I don´t understand Schlaudraffs call up, he´s such a gifted player, but like the most of such veery low character plus he played numerous awful games. Undeserved.
I actually like Troche, another technical very gifted player but he doesn´t played enough to have the rights for a call up....well well thx to good old Jogi he´s allowed to warm the bench for Germany too, not only for HxV

Hitz is on fire, he should start imo. Hilbert is a good option to come off the bench, as he is a quick winger with very good crossing skills.
I agree on giving Timo a chance to be a spectador, but I think Lehmann will start. If Castro played in midfield, Germany would lack some creativity in there, if you want to bench Ballack, then Hitz should play in there instead.

Well I do think Hitz will start first but for that rather easy match i think its the best opportunity to give such a young player like Hilbert a chance. Plus Hilbert is on fire as well
Castro is actually a better MF-player than as a RB imo, he creates lots of beauty passes and chances for others, have it seen many times in his matches for the U21. Also in such a match (if Ballack is not fit) it would be a great chance for him to learn and grow on Frings and Schneiders side. So I would choose Castro first. Hitz can play the second half....

Anyway, welcome to TalkSoccer mate.

Yah sure but if we can crack up the Czech defense easily, it should be much more easy peasy to that minnor. I´m aware of their 11-0-0 system but as soon the first goals are scored, the goal fest begins- I´m sure about it
8) Don´t forget the "german wall" is never satisfied and will push our boys 90+ minutes to score more and more...
The only thing I´m worry about is how the condition of our players is after such a long season...we´d seen it against Cyprus
Nah but I´m sure Jogi gets them really motivated plus its a true pleasure for them again to play for Germany. You can see this in every move on the pitch and I´m simply loving it ^^
Thanks for the welcome, mate 8)
