| International Friendly: Germany vs. Poland |
Germany begins preparing for the European Championship in earnest with a friendly against co-host Poland on Tuesday. With qualification already assured, coach Joachim Loew indicated he will "try out one or another" from his squad at the Gdansk Arena stadium, especially built for next summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine. Bayer Leverkusen's 22-year-old midfielder Lars Bender was called up for the first time on Sunday, while Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Oezil and Bayern Munich clubmates Bastian Schweinsteiger and Manuel Neuer were excused the day before. Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese will start in place of Neuer, with Arsenal signing Per Mertesacker lining up in defense and Borussia Dortmund playmaker Mario Goetze coming in for Oezil. Poland, looking for its first ever win over its neighbor, hopes France-based Damien Perquis can help sort out its defense. The Sochaux defender was granted Polish citizenship by President Bronislaw Komorowski on Thursday. Perquis said he was learning basic Polish to be able to communicate with his teammates. Germany-based Jakub Blaszczykowski will hope to exert his captain's influence from midfield, while there are high expectations for another Borussia Dortmund player, Robert Lewandowski. Germany outclassed Austria 6-2 on Friday to become the first team to qualify for the 2012 European Championship with eight wins from eight games in Group A, and Loew is eager to maintain the momentum. Lazio striker Miroslav Klose will earn his 112th cap against the country of his birth, and the chance to further cut the gap on the all-time topscorer Gerd Mueller. Klose has 62 goals, six behind Mueller on 68. Klose, like Lukas Podolski, has a Polish background but opted to play for Germany, and the 33-year-old player is confident his side can win the tournament for the first time since 1996. With the tight connections on both teams and two excellent teams battling on the field this will provide some excellent action to watch and wager on.
