Germany looked formidable, even given the weak opposition. I thought though, for the second straight game, that Schweinsteiger was struggling. He has been out injured for half the season, and against stronger opposition he could be a liability. I would not be surprised to see Bender in again (for either Schweinsteiger or Boateng). Podolski is also likely to be back, but who do you leave out? Certainly not Reus for starters.
