Joahim Low did not have to dig his nose to strike gold. Mario Gotze serves notice that he might
be the next best thing to Mesut Oezil who is already the best thing since Lukas Podolski, Miroslav
Klose, and Bastian Schweinsteiger. Then there is the small matter of Thomas Muller and Andre
Schurrle.
Germany is the first team to qualify for the Euro 2012 finals after wrapping up a perfect run
behind goals from Ozil, newcomer Goetze, Schurrle and forgotten man Podolski. Goetze actually had
another setup in the 8 minutes of action he saw that could have resulted in a hat-trick for Ozil,
had Ozil not scuffed it over the net.
