I'm not ready to see Hummels - Suele pairing yet again. If Boateng is not fit, then I'd go with Ruediger.

Why not? They more or less handled Real's forwards and they're unlikely to meet someone better in the world cup (I know they conceded goals, but you know what I mean )

Their positioning and structure are a mess. Süle may be great at individual challenges but Boateng is needed for not conceding stupid chances, regardless of whether he would screw up a tackle or not.

Crucially, when he pairs with Hummels, he leads the line. When it's Süle, Hummels leads the line, which he can't do. Besides, Boateng is offensively much better.

all this makes sense except for

According to Bild, these are the reasons Sane was excluded from the National Team (copied from reddit):

1. Poor performances for the NT (12 games, 0 goals, 1 assist)
2. Lack of ambition in training, which Löw already had noticed at the Euros 2016
3. Sane irritated Löw when he decided to get a Septoplasty rather than playing in the Confed Cup last year
4. Bad behavior in public. Example: After the friendly against England in 2017 he flipped off his teammates when they tried to get him to talk to the press for a bit
5. They also mention his tattoo

Why would a tattoo be a problem? Boateng has loads of them.

Sane has a tattoo of himself on his back (I believe of the celebration he did after scoring in the 1-3 defeat against Monaco that saw Man City eliminated). So it is possible that he’s a grade A narcissist and his selfishness could cost the team.

However, I don’t think that tattoo has anything to do with this.

[Lahmies]

Wow. Having a tattoo of yourself is the most narcissistic thing I can imagine, CR7 would be jealous.
I think the other reasons stated are more relevant though.

Here's a little nugget for Ramsej

The official photo before the WC. I used to get it on the mail in the 80's and 90's and have most of them somewhere in a box.

He has been unable to train since he injured his knee during the Austria match following a challenge by Sebastian Proedl.

Ramsej’s predication came true then! Austrians take out a German player just before the World Cup.

Come on man! That’s not a nice thing to say

I’m not big Özil fan either but I wouldn’t wish injury upon any player (not named Ramos, Casemiro, Diego Costa, Suarez and Ashley Young) right before a World Cup. Austria were playing too hard for a friendly and it is sad for Mesut. I did not agree with him being selected but regardless what had happened now is sad.

If Özil cannot get fit for the World Cup then Germany still have time to name a replacement. Götze is the first name that comes to mind!
