    Bild in Germany reporting that Hummels and Gomez will start instead of Mertesacker and Klose, reason for Klose not starting is not given but Mertesacker is not starting because of a lack of match fitness.

    Mertesacker is terrible anyway, and I'm not sure what to make of Gomez coming in for Klose.

    I completely agree. Mertesacker is a bombscare.


    Anyway, the Netherlands and Denmark line-ups:

    #NED XI v #DEN Stekelenburg; Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Vlaar, Willems; Van Bommel, N De Jong; Robben, Sneijder, Afellay; Van Persie

    #DEN XI v #NED Andersen; S Poulsen, Kjaer, Agger, Jacobsen; Zimling, Kvist; Rommedahl, Eriksen, Krohn-Dehli; Bendtner

    Taken from Four-Four-Two's twitter.

    Comfortable win for the Dutch IMO Denmark must be pretty * if we(Scotland) beat them not so long ago. Looking forward to seeing Erikson though, quality player.

    Hummels * all over that lanky streak of *. He never impressed me while at Werder and looks even worse at Arsenal!

    He is good for Germany though. Strangely.

    Think Podolskis rather like that as well, better internationally than he is at club level.

    Van persie has more to his game and fits in to the 4 5 1 perfectly mate.

    Got £4 on 3-1 Germany with Podolski to score anytime.

    Dunno how much I'll get back.

    Podolski though, TBF, has been brilliant at club level for Koln.

    He has been immense for Germany though. Remember him ripping it up at one of the major tournaments a few years back.

    Yeah, he's good at club level but sensational for Germany.

    Wonder if he'll do it for Arsenal?

    Should do well. He'll probably get shunted out onto the wing (Knowing Wenger), which wouldn't be ideal.
