It's hard to think of one change in the tactics without changing the team. Someone would be playing off his position. So I'll swap one player with a corresponding change in tactics.
I'd take out Heskey and put SWP in. 4-2-3-1 in the way Germany plays: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3535/germanyside.jpg
Lampard and Gerrard are like Xavi and Fabregas. Spain works pretty well with Fabregas on the bench, although Fabregas is a great player. The team simply works better with only one creative midfielder and two advanced wingers.
Capello should try it, Lampard is not even deserving to be a starter... and did he ever?

What! Have you seen Lampards goal scoring record for the last few seasons?
Remember Capello knows that the wining team always improve throughout the competition and peak around the semis. Wholesale changes of our top potential scorers are not required; Gerrard and Lampard can play together they just need a short run of competitive games.

No. Crouch for Heskey. Defoe for Rooney. Milner for Lennon. Bring a miffed and bristling Rooney on from the bench for the last 25 or 30 minutes. Bring on Heskey for Defoe, and Lennon for whoever is knackered, for the last 15 minutes.

That doesn't look very good. Gerrard is too far away from the goal, and Lampard is definitely good enough for the team. Crouch isn't. Only maybe as a sub. Ze Germans will not fear Crouch.
So, you're Capello...
