howdy. i thought i'd try to be a good citizen and open my first thread in the mainsies.
so here we go. ze german national team it is.
actual content starts now:
löw has nominated the following 30 players for his preliminary WC squad:
GK: Neuer, Weidenfeller, Zieler
Defenders: Boateng, Hummels, Mertesacker, Höwedes, Lahm, Schmelzer, Großkreutz, Jansen, Ginter, Mustafi, Durm, (Lars Bender)
Midfielders: Lars Bender, Draxler, Götze, Khedira, Kroos, Müller, Özil, Podolski, Reus, Schürrle, Schweinsteiger, (Lahm, Großkreutz, Ginter)
Strikers: Volland, Klose, (Müller, Podolski, Götze, Reus)
- - -
EDIT 02JUNE /////////////////////////////////
the final WC squad consists of 23 players.
GK: Neuer, Weidenfeller, Zieler
Defenders: Boateng, Hummels, Mertesacker, Höwedes, Großkreutz, Durm, Ginter, (Lahm)
Midfielders: Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Khedira, Kroos, Özil, Reus, Müller, Götze, Schürrle, Podolski, C. Kramer, Draxler, (Großkreutz, Ginter)
Strikers: Klose (Müller, Götze, Podolski, Reus)
////////////////////////////////////////////
things that spring to mind:
- who on earth picks ron-robert zieler over leno or ter stegen?
- lahm: RB or DM? (-> großkreutz as regular RB?)
- which CB pairing? (couldn't name two favourites atm)
- which DM pairing? (-> general lack of actual top form?)
- WHY ARE THERE NO TOP LEFT BACKS OF GERMAN NATIONALITY? I MEAN, MARCELL JANSEN? SERIOUSLY? WHAT NAME IS MARCELL ANYWAY?
- reus over özil as #10? (i know it won't happen. but one can dream)
- where or what is thomas müller's position on the pitch exactly?
- any other players you would have picked, and if so, instead of whom?
and what would be your first XI?
so here we go. ze german national team it is.
