Starting Line-up: Germany vs Mexico

World champions Germany start their title defence today as they face a tough Mexico side.

This should be a very entertaining match as both teams play on the front foot, the Germans with their technical passes and movement, Mexico with their experienced attacking team led by Javier Hernandez and Carlos Vela.

Joachim Low named a strong starting line up, Ozil was fit enough to make the squad.

See both teams line up below:

Germany XI vs. Mexico: Neuer; Plattenhardt, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich; Khedira, Draxler, Kroos, Ozil, Muller; Werner
