Hummels and Ozil dropped.
Hummels has some problems with his neck and sat out of training yesterday because of that. Rudy is not a bad choice as he can play the 6 and is used to cover for Kimmich.

Draxler I do not understand either. As I told elsewhere - he had only one match of his last 12 in which he had a goal or an assist (not even decisive ones - and he started in 10 of this matches.

Germany are absolutely mad not to bring Sane to this tournament.

I’m just glad Mexico didn’t have any injuries. Korea was playing really rough, probably should’ve been a lot more cards handed out.

Germany vs Sweden should be a good game. I hope sweden doesn’t play super defensive, but, that’s probably gonna happen..

Almost definitely, a draw gives them a great shot of progression.

I had completely forgotten about it until it got mentioned a few minutes ago. Why would anyone remember that, what kind of game was it even?
I mainly remember Sweden taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the return leg before conceding 5 goals, making Andre Schürrle look like a football god in the process. ;)

Some weeks later CR7 did the same with the left side Schürrle made in that match (in the relegation matches). He was called a "hero"...

I'm surprised Brandt isn't starting, he made quite an impact off the bench in the last game.

My wit's end
Germany are great in the air. Lindelof isn't. I could see a couple of setpiece goals here for the Krauts.

Be a real shock if Germany don't win this. Just can't see a Swedish win. Still hoping they spring a surprise here:drool:
