I just read an article saying Kroos was coming in for Muller, dunno how credible the source was though.
That could be, he is more of a midfield playmaker and has been previously used to sub for Schweinsteiger. That would tell me that they want more creativity on the midfield wings and that they're committing to playing Schweinsteiger for the whole 90.

What caught my eye in the Preview was the 'Key Battle.' Miro Klose vs Gerard Pique. If thats the case then Spain could be in trouble, Pique has looked shaky at best this tournament against some pretty sub-par competition, like that stupid penalty he took against Paraguay. That could easily have sunk Spain right then and there if not for Casillas' heriocs.
