Joachim Low has recently criticized Miroslav Klose in the press, expressing his worries over the Bayern Munich veteran’s form. Kevin Kuranyi, who led the goalscoring charts in the Bundesliga, was not selected despite his form. Would you have chosen a 23 different to Low’s? I believe Klose will go on to justify his selection in the squad, and I think Low’s squad is as good as it gets for Germany, considering their unbelievable injury problems.

My ideal German XI would be:

Neuer – Lahm, Mertesacker, Tasci, Badstuber – Khedira, Schweinsteiger – Marin, Ozil, Trochowski – Cacau
