Evening all, and welcome to Germany v Latvia!

Otherwise, Germany look set to persist with three at the back, also known as the safety in numbers option. I'm not sure whether they'll use Muller or Havertz to make a five in midfield, or go with a three and have three rovers up front. I'm a little surprised they've not found room for Goretzka, who I'm certain is a better option that Kroos at this point, but it's hard to complain at the inclusion of so special a player.

So Germany haven't picked any players who aren't in their tournament squad. How quaint.

Let's have some teams...

They're a strange deal, are Germany. A potential midfield trio of Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Thomas Muller makes them good enough to dominate any match, while an attack of Serge Gnabry, Kai Havertz and Leroy Sane makes them good enough to punish any team. And yet no one really thinks of them as potential winners, a difficult group, unconvincing defence and departing manager meaning they'll begin the Euros in limbo. But, as we know, once things get going all sorts can happen and the "Turniermannschaft” – "tournament team” – can never be written off.
