Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Rene Adler is favorite to be Germany's
No. 1 at the World Cup.
Germany goalkeepers' coach Andreas Koepke said Monday that
Adler will be in goal for this week's friendly against Argentina.
Wednesday's match is Germany's last before the squad for South
Africa is named in May.
The 25-year-old Adler is in a three-way battle for the
starting spot with Werder Bremen's Tim Wiese and Schalke's Manuel
Neuer.
Koepke said Adler is "No. 1 at the moment" and that the
position is his to lose.
