One goes with speed in the offense and plays the deadly pass. The other is pulling the strings in the midfield and is dangerous with long-distance shots. Who can decide the duel of the playmakers - Mesut Özil or Dejan Stankovic?

Sometimes, the smallest touch makes the difference. Mesut Özil’s killer pass. Klose’s measured run. Clinical finishing at its finest. That’s 48 international goals for Klose, his first in the new CTR360 and Germany’s ticket to South Africa booked.

When the difference between automatic qualification for 2010 and scrapping it out in the play-offs is just one single point, a moment of genius is needed. Two nations. Two born entertainers. Two moments of game-changing brilliance waiting to happen. One spot to play for. It’s on.
