Germany v Poland - Starting Line-Ups - Podolski, Klose Starting For The Germans, Kosowski on the Bench

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Wed, 14/06/2006 - 19:34.

No major surprises in the starting line-ups of the second match for Germany and Poland. Jurgen Klinsmann has Podolski and Klose in front to try to create problems for the win-thirsty Croatia.

The German frontline consisting of Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski will have an additional reason to do well in this match. Both were born in Poland before moving to Germany as children and will relish the prospect of facing their native country.

Germany certainly has the advantage as the World Cup is hosted on German soil, however loads of Polish fans will be supporting the Polish national football team.
