Euro 2012: Germany Vs Italy (1 - 2) On 28th June 2012 by mukina2: 1:25pm On Jun 28, 2012
Tournaments favourites, take on the Italians in the second semi-final match of the euros, Italy have never lost to Germany in a competitive game, will the Germans break the jinx and beat them tonite?

Germany will make some changes to the team that defeated Greece, with Muller,poldoski and Gomes likely to start in place of Schürrle, Reus & Klose. Schweinsteiger who had an ankle problem has been passed fit

For The Italians,Maggio is suspended, Chiellini and Abate may feature. Daniele De Rossi is also a doubt in midfield.


Germany player to watch: Philipp Lahm.
A highly capable defender, the captain provided a reminder against Greece that he also poses a goal threat and his raids from left back will be of particular concern for Italy, who are without Christian Maggio through suspension and have doubts over the fitness of Ignazio Abate. If Cesare Prandelli continues to ask his full backs to provide the width to his team, Lahm could thrive.

Italy player to watch: Riccardo Montolivo.
Montolivo, who agreed a move to AC Milan this summer, came into the side for the quarter-final against England in place of Thiago Motta and excelled in the first half. That he missed a glorious chance from close range and then fired his penalty wide in the shootout may have led some to appraise his performance unkindly but, with so much of the pre-match focus on Andrea Pirlo, he may be able to cause real problems if the Germans leave him space in front of the defence.

Key battle: Bastian Schweinsteiger v Andrea Pirlo.
Schweinsteiger was far from his best in the 4-2 victory over Greece and has recently suffered from injury problems, but he has declared himself fit to face Italy and, given his undoubted quality and ability to lead, it would be a significant surprise if he were not in the starting line-up. He will come up against Pirlo, who has a phenomenal capacity for controlling the game. Ahead of the tournament, Spain legend Luis Suarez had suggested he was a finer player than Xavi, and his magisterial showing against England, capped with a Panenka penalty in the shootout, has only enhanced his reputation. If Germany can disrupt him, they should win the game; if Pirlo takes control, Italy’s unblemished record could

Die mannschaft

official lineup

Neuer - Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm - Kroos, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Özil, Podolski - Gomez
Re: Euro 2012: Germany Vs Italy (1 - 2) On 28th June 2012 by chic2pimp(m): 7:29pm On Jun 28, 2012
Great News......Chiellini starts

I hope Prandelii goes with the 3-5-2 formation

Barzagli-Bonnuci-Chiellini and Balzaretti and De Rossi playing as wing backs.

But I highly doubt it. He'll stick with his preferred diamond formation with Pirlo and Montolivo at the base.
