"We will rock you..."

... is the song filling the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, less than an hour before Germany and Argentina meet in the marquee matchup of the four quarterfinals over the next 36 hours in Berlin, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen and Frankfurt.

The German starting lineup is unchanged: Lehmann, Friedrich, Schwinsteiger, Frings, Klose, Ballack, Lahm, Mertesacker, Schneider, Podolski, Metzelder.

The biggest change in the Argentina starting 11 is a surprise. Javier Saviola, who has recharged his career with a fine performance this month, makes way for Carlos Tevez. The lineup in full is: Abbondanzieri, Ayala, Sorin, Coloccini, Heinze, Mascherano, Crespo, Riquelme, Tevez, Maxi and Luis Gonzalez.
