Yeah quality opposition there! :SI'll say Germany they are in superb form 24-0 over San Marino
Yeah quality opposition there! :S
As an Aussie I'm being cautiously optimistic. Physicality, organisation and defense are our strengths and I think we should be able to hold out for a nil all draw.
IMO Germany underestimates Australia. We are not bad at set pieces and decent on the counter. We have a strong defense that can certainly frustrate the Germans like we did against Brazil in 2006 - we still lost 2-0 but a performance like that and we should get the draw.

I forgot -we also manager a draw against Holland pretty recently so I think we are up to the task defensively.
But Marin and Ozil definitely have the potential to cause some problems. Wilkshire and Chipperfield will have to be on there game. I think Ozil will play more of a free role and come down his natural left side.
IMO stiker is a bit of a problem for Germany. Kuryani should have been in the squad - regardless of the internal circumstances. Simple as that. Gomez and Klose have hardly played this season. Cacau is the real threat up front.
