Only poor decision is keeping the likes of Rudiger and Mustafi (?) in. They are crap.

Mustafi's not in. There's someone much worse than him in Ginter.

I actually liked Ginter a lot when he played RB for Tuchel. A lot. He should have been converted to that position, since he is pretty bad as a CB.

. Ter Stegen and Leno were always rivals, so why cause issues when Leno wouldn't ever get close to playing?

Why though?

@ MUTU - Wanting Gomez to succeed is one thing but wishing failure upon Werner ain’t cool
Also, I think Khedira will start ahead of Goretzka.

Also funny how everyone online is concerned about Reus or Khedira or Werner going down but no words about Mr. Inconsistent Boateng

I guess it’s all based on perception.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never wished for Werner to fail, I just predicted him to, just like you're predicting Boateng to f**k up.

apparently it goes back to them playing on German U-xx national teams together, always competing for the starting spot. I'm not super in-tune with this though, it's just what i've heard second hand.

it's interesting reading about the Sane choice. It seems that the people MOST upset about it are English/English press. I think this is a good example of why Germany can be so successful and the English not so much. Löw isn't relying on name recognition alone to pick his team...

Fair enough.

Was with you until that last sentence. The selection of Gomez and Boateng proves that Löw very much is going on name recognition.

i know you personally don't like Boateng, but let's be honest, he IS the second best CB in Germany. Leaving him out of the squad for anything other than an injury would have been insane. Gomez sure, but he did have a decent season, plus he's integrated with the national team. As we've said a bunch of times, there were 3-4 players competing for that backup spot (Gomez, Petersen, Wagner, Uth)

I was a big Boateng mark until 2017. 2012-2014 Boateng was an absolute beast of a CB, but the truth is that he has never been the same player since Messi 2015 happened. Plus he has become far too injury prone.

Notable Boateng Bloopers:-
1. Was at fault for the away goal Griezmann scored.
2. Lost marking Ronaldo in both legs in 2017 for Ronaldo’s first goals in both games.
3. Waving his arms in the penalty box against Italy

Boateng in the last 2-3 years makes too many basic errors for a top quality CB. He’s still good but not the player he was four years ago. Also it doesn’t help that he has become too injury prone and can go down in really big games (France & Real Madrid) holding his hamstring/groin.

IMO Germany needed to look forward with Süle and Tah, like how Germany took young defenders at the 2010 WC (Boateng being one of those youngsters back then)

Re: Gomez. I don’t doubt his qualities but his displays against Brazil and Austria have not made a very good impression. Gomez, like Boateng, looks like another player past his best.

No Höwedes, no Mustafi, but the "master" Ginter is there, haha. And Rudy of course.

Löw should have taken S. Wagner to Russia. But okay... When I see what happened to Badstuber, Höwedes, Schürrle and Götze, I know why all this looks so normal.

Eventually...

Benedikt has been injured for 80% of the season and Mustafi has himself to blame. If I’m not mistaken Ginter was there in 2014 as well?

IMO, Götze should’ve been selected ahead of Rudy and Wagner ahead of Gomez. Stindl and Gnabry’s injuries were also setbacks to Löw.

Anyway what’s done is done. I’ll be rooting for Germany regardless of whoever plays!

Rudy is in because he can play backup for Kimmich. Rudy was the first choice RB after Lahm's retirement and before Kimmich got called up. Götze is simply surplus of requirements.

So... with Gnabry missing due to injury, Sané still fails to make the squad, but Draxler and Brandt are in.
We tried to get comments but #12 was unavailable; he was last seen hiding in Sri Lanka

What are you trying to tell me? As if this was an actual measurement of quality... And don’t act like Gnabry would’ve surely made it - there’s at least reason to doubt it...
