Germany should play the same formation.

4-2-3-1

lahm - boateng - hummels - howedes

khedira - schweinsteiger

muller-----kroos-----ozil

-----------klose

Make sure to not play a high line like they did against Algeria. Algerians were relentless in the long ball counter attacks. Argentinians will be even more punishing.

That's the same as last match but it's still far from perfect.

Get fucking Mertesacker in ther and push Boateng to the left. You just can't leave Höwedes alone with Messi.

That's the last thing the Germans should want to do.

Mertesacker has no pace and that showed vs Ghana. 

Lavezzi, Messi, Aguero, Maria (if he plays) would have a field day with Mertesacker. 

Germany has looked their old self since moving Lahm back to lb, they should stick with that.
