Doubt he’ll get into the Germany squad while Loew is coach. He pulled out of the Confederation Cup squad to get a nose job, which is why he was dropped for the World Cup.
Doubt that. He wouldn't have been nominated at all if Löw was done with him and ruledhim out completely. And if anyone understands beauty things it's Löw ;)

I rather think the other guys like Brandt and Goretzka gathered some bonus points for participating.

He's been pretty poor every time he's played for Germany. I'd assume that most people would have had him in the squad (me included), but the decision was certainly understandable.

And the guys who have traditionally always been good for Germany, shit the bed this world cup. Surely after that performance at the world cup, there's no way to justify the decision now?

So you always pick the players which don't perform? Doesn't make a lot of sense does it?

You do not know... Reus has his name and his birthday tatooed on the inside of his arm... (so that he is not lost when he gets drunk and nobody forgets the presents...)

:lol: Just seen this, ultimate douchebag tattoo!

Reminds me of my step brother who had his name across the top of his back. Pillock.

That's a nose job.

A lot of people have a deviated septum.

I notice Gundogan has had the same.
There's still possible medical indication to get it done, when it interferes with breathing.

No you pick your best players. Sane showed his quality and form this season over 50 games for Man City, and established himself as one of the best wingers int the PL. That should carry a lot more weight than a few non competitive friendlies in which he underwhelmed for Germany.

Out of all the tattoo's in the world you could have, why the feck would you get your own name and birthday?

Think Mendy being fit is why he's not playing. Pep is prepared to play with an inverted winger since he has a genuine LB onece again.

You've seen Sane's on his back?

Pogba gets slated for his hair but Sane has himself celebrating a goal in a match that they actually went out of the CL in.

Yes, that's how international football works, just cram in the players who start for the biggest clubs.

That's not how football works. Look at France's XI in the final: Giroud and Matuidi in attacking roles over Fekir and Dembele, Pavard as RB. Germany 2014 with Klose and Höwedes.

The tattooist made him look like he's got a receding hairline, hope he hasn't seen it himself. :nervous:

He'll regret it for the rest of his life.

Smart move by Sane. His tattoo shows him in a neutral shirt, not a City shirt.

Good find. Imagine putting a shirt sponsor like etihad or AIG on your body. The artist did him a real solid on that one
He kinda did. I see a nike swoop. Anyway my comment is tongue in cheek. I'm sure City will find use for him

that's an extremely terrible attempt at a tattoo. Who in the world and how much did he pay for this thing? I know people who could do a better job and I've never or will ever get one!!

Such a random moment to tattoo on your back. Wonder what was so special about it for him.

Mendy is keeping him on the bench. As long as Mendy is fit, there's a fair chance it remains that way.
Have I seen the formation wrong? Okay I just checked it and see what you mean. Maybe you have a point.

I can still see him slotting in upfront in a freer role. Also, I do t see Mahrez, Sane and Sterling all on the bench long term. I'm sure we'll see City playing those widemen for the majority of the season.

That is horrible tattoo! His face looks like he was stung by bees, and his left leg looks much bigger then right one. And didn't he originally had City badge on it, then later made black stripe over it to make it look like it is Germany shirt? I think I've seen it somewhere before.
