Manuel Neuer without a doubt starts in goal for this star-studded XI, In defence, Benedikt Howedes is deployed as a full-back rather than a centre-half, with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm sitting just in front of the defensive partnership of Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng, who plays over Per Mertesacker, Marcel Schmelzer resumes his role at left-back, a position Germany arguably lacked some quality in before the addition of Schmelzer to the team. Mesut Oezil plays in the centre of the attacking midfield trio, where he most definitely plays at his best. Marco Reus, who missed out on the victory through injury would become a starting player on the left side of the pitch, with Mario Goetze, the scorer of the winning goal, would be deployed on the right side. Finally, upfront we have Thomas Mueller, the man who always steps up when it comes to international football. Despite playing normally behind the striker/s or in a wider role, Mueller would be devastatingly effective as a sole striker, likely as a poacher.
