Germany plays Italy today in the Euro 2012 semi-final, in a very highly anticipated game that will hopefully be much more exciting than yesterday’s snoozefest (apart from the exciting penalty kick shootout).

Good news for Italy. Chiellini is back, and will be playing as a left back for Italia.

Italy team: Buffon, Balzaretti, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini; De Rossi, Pirlo, Marchisio, Montolivo, Cassano, Balotelli

Germany team: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm; Khedira, Schweinsteiger; Kroos, Ozil, Podolski; Gomez.
