It appears as though we may have another "next Lionel Messi" candidate on our hands, and it's not the second grader who just inked a contract with Real Madrid. It's Mario Gotze, the 19-year-old German who will be inserted into the starting lineup when they take on Brazil in a friendly.
Friendly or not, this match is going to be worth your time. Gotze shows so much promise that it's impossible not to be enamored by his potential to dominate. At such a young age, he's showing flashes of brilliance that are making everyone get ahead of themselves.
He's got an incredible presence on the field and the raw talent that makes it hard to look away from the match, even when there is noting on the line.
Enough gushing about Gotze, at least for the time being. This match is a huge opportunity to Brazil to rebound after a heinous Copa America. They embarrassed themselves and got bounced out of the quarterfinals after being one of the tournament favorites.
Germany wants to win as well. It's been far too long since they've taken down Brazil, and establishing dominance in a no-pressure venue like this can be instrumental down the road.
Who knows if these two teams will see each other in a tournament in the near future, perhaps even the 2014 World Cup. The term "friendly" can be misleading. Every team wants to win—especially when the bear their country's colors.
The match is set to take place on August 10th, at 2:45 PM EST.
