Miroslav Klose has made Germany proud by breaking Ronaldo's World Cup record of 15 goals by scoring his 15th against Nigeria and set the new World Cup record by scoring his 16th World Cup goal against Brazil in the semi-final round. He is likely to be a part of the German starting XI as he is the only striker in the whole squad and the most experienced player as well. Germany can benifit his experience by making him start the final.
