4.Mario Gomez should lead the line at the Euros

With Miroslav Klose stepping into the sunset post the World Cup glory, the centre-forward spot in Germany is up for grabs. But with Lukas Podolski grossly out of form and Mario Gotze still too young, the stage is set for Mario Gomez to redeem himself, and his career.
The estranged No.23 saw his career go downhill when an injury-ravaged 2013/14 season led to being ostracized from Germany’s World Cup squad for the Brazil mega event, and since then, had been playing in the shadows.
Against England last evening, the 30-year old led the line for the hosts and to gy by the performance he put up, should do the same at the Euros too. The Besiktas forward had a goal disallowed for offside early in the first half but made up for it with a sublime header in the second. Otherwise too, he was one of the better German players going forward.
Expectations are riding high on Joachim Loew’s side for the upcoming tournament. But with Mario Gomez holding the torch upfront, they can live up to it.
