me?

i thought he would have struggled to get a solid shot off if he stayed on his soldier. it was minute '11. there were a couple of other guys there too. perhaps i'm wrong.

someone post the gif

anyone know if he's more likely to start over Kroos or Khedira? Throw him on the field in place of Khedira and the flow of this game changes instantly in Germany's favor
