Unfortunately not. I think Villa is definitely out now. But still letting loose a rejuvenated Torres against a somewhat ageing, mediocre German defence in Metzelder and Mertesacker is going to be fun to watch. Pip Lahm had a shocker too but he can still shoot. He scored a stunner against Costa Rica in the 4-1 demolition job otherwise known as the opening of the 2006 World Cup, and he did it again against the Turks the other night. He could be key... but he also needs to make a tackle occasionally.
