You guys shouldn't read too much into these moves. Those guys starting today would be regulars in just about any team in the world. Depth of the German team is unrivaled by anyone with the exception of perhaps Spain (midfield at least).

I agree, but disagree- while Germany certainly has amazing depth in the midfield and up top, I think it is pretty significant (positively) that Reus comes on over Podolski/Muller. In particular, Podolski has looked off form to me, and Reus will bring a break down ability on the wing, something that Russia clearly lacked in their loss to Greece. More significantly though, Gomez has been a killer in the air, with 3 of Germany's 5 goals in this tournament so far. Klose is no slouch, but removing a guy who is that hot finding the net seems like a pretty big move to me. Hopefully Germany can still beat this -1.5 handicap!

Reus with the 4th goal! At +246 for me personally
Germany pounds Greece in a 4-2 result that should have really been even more lopsided on the scoreline. Complete and total demolition of the Greek side who took their one opportunity to counter well and got a gift PK at 88' to make it appear respectable.

ITALY +197 [Pinnacle]
Am I the only one who likes this Italian team? I actually played this at +206 last night, but I will list the current available odds. Italy outplayed Spain in their first match in almost every facet of the game except the scoreline, which ended a 1-1 draw. This game is going to be very difficult for both sides to break open, since each squad can tend to turn very defensive when under a lot of pressure, but the value here is on Italy ML. The difference here will be Italy having three in form strikers to choose from who are all 'competing' for the limelight. Watch for solid performances from Mario Balotelli, Antonio Cassano and Antonio Di Natale, with one of those three finding the net. My guess is Super Mario, who will have a bit of extra motivation going against his Man City compatriots Joleon Lescott and keeper Joe Hart.
