just a sidenote. manuel and arne are not brothers....
ok here is my lineup.
Goalkeepers - Timo Hildebrand (at some point valencia will have to realize how bad cannizares really is), Robert Enke (solid and has one advantage over the young guns: he won't complain being benched), Jens Lehmann (why, oh why ? well he will start and i will have stomach cramps )
Defenders - Philipp Lahm (no discussion), Arne Friedrich (experience is his factor but in my eyes too slow), Marcell Jansen (starter), Christian Pander (has to improve on the defense), Per Mertesacker (best german CB), Christoph Metzelder (more of a playing cb. löw likes him), manuel friedrich (we need a 3rd cb. he's the best of the bunch)
Midfielders - Michael Ballack (we need him), Torsten Frings (one of the best dm on the planet), Bernd Schneider (most underrated german player), Bastian Schweinsteiger (cornerstone of this team), Tim Borowski (if fit he will have his place), Thomas Hitzlsperger (one of the best players lately),
last place in the mf will be tough. castro, rolfes, khedira, hilbert. with hilbert having the best chance so far
Forwards - Miroslav Klose (best German striker), Mario Gomez (future star), Lukas Podolski (a fixture in the nt), Kevin Kuranyi (no discussion again), Odonkor (a surprise again. he starts this season and his speed might help us more than schlaudraff as a sub), Patrick Helmes (good talent. löw might just throw him in)
