Well let us first agree that he is a great player with even greater potential. Good thing is that Germany can't do much better than they do, while we have space to improve. And if Germany makes it to the final, and we do the same thing, than we have some players that know what to do. Van Bommel knows the guy very good of course.
Don't get ahead of things though. Both countries have to win their games, and on paper we have the easier game. But that was what Italy was thinking when playing vs Slowakia. Germany though have the tougher match, vs Spain, the European champion of course.....
