In the sold out Alianz Arena in Munich.

It's a classic in the world of national team soccer that could only be trumped by Germany-Brazil matchups or Germany-England.

Don't miss it. Toni Kroos( best player at the U17 WC a couple years ago, best midfielder in the league this season after Arjen Robben who is more of a winger) and Thomas Mueller(played every game for Bayern this year 13 goals 10 assists) will likely make their debuts for Germany. The next 2 in our upcoming golden generation.


Argentina:

----------------------------Andújar---------------------
Burdisso/Otamendi ----Demichelis----Samuel -- Heinze;
---Gutiérrez--------- Mascherano -----Verón -----Di María;
------------------------ Messi------Higuain---------------

Wishful lineup for Germany.

-------------------Gomez-------------------
Oezil---------------Kroos--------------Mueller
-------------Ballack-----Schweinsteiger------
Schaefer----Mertesacker--Boateng------Lahm
--------------------Neuer-------------------

Wont happen like this though since Klose and Podolski are still 2 of Low's favorites.

We honestly have the best youth players in the world right now, evidenced by our latest titles (U21 Champion, U17 Champion etc).

Toni Kroos, Mesut Oezil, Thomas Mueller, Marko Marin, Sami Khedira, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, Benni Hoewedes, Dennis Aogo, Manuel Neuer, Rene Adler, Holger Badstuber to name a few already in or very close to the national team not to mention all the youth national players that will make noise the next 2 years.

Plus Lahm and Schweinsteiger are still only 25/26, plus Podolski who is young but has only produced for the national team in the last 3 years.

This is as "must win" a game for Argentina as any friendly in recent memory. Argentina needs momentum going into the world cup.

Yes Germany played one of the most uninspiring games in a long time, game was a borefest.
Argentina scored on a miscue by Rene Adler that's about it.

Was unimpressed by both teams.
