75 minutes to go...
Glad "Jogi" (provided that the info is correct and that he won't change his mind at the very last moment ) has the balls to replace the rather underwhelming Podolski and Müller (two of three reasons why our attacking game - despite the three victories - was often lacking creativity in the group stage and why we couldn't push through our quick one-touch style of play as usual) by Andre Schürrle and my favourite player Marco Reus - voted Bundesliga's best player last season. Although he doesn't have any experience on the big international stage, I'm confident that he'll do a heck of a job. The fact that he gets the nod over Mario Götze probably speaks volumes. He's a beast. Replacing Gomez, who isn't a "playing striker" (the third reason), by Klose, who's extremely important for our combination play (especially for Özil), is another critical but correct decision (at least against this particular, concrete-mixing opponent). On the other hand, I feel extremely sorry for Gomez, who was undoubtedly a lifesaver against Portugal and the man of the match against the Netherlands...
Although I/we have great respect for the Greek team and although this is most likely going to be a tough sledding (especially if Hellas scores first...), I think we will continue our winning run if we are able to deploy all our skill tonight...
Thanks to everyone who's rooting for us tonight. =) Enjoy the game !
