All bets are off for Germany, as Joachim Loew stakes his final roll of the dice on redemption. The four-time World Cup winners have refused to continue gambling on their glorious past. Just three of the players that triumphed in Brazil five years ago remain in...
He appeared far happier to cultivate the national side's status quo rather than shaking it up.Loew's decision to consign Thomas Mueller, Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng to early international retirement sparked outrage among the country's footballing populous.
Injuries to Julian Draxler and Sami Khedira ensure that this particular clique has been obliterated from view this week. Boateng failed to even make it into the 23-man squad, while Hummels failed to cover himself in glory in a defence which surrendered a two-goal lead to draw with Holland last November.
However, newcomer Niklas Stark cannot be discounted, especially with a 90 per cent pass completion rate at Hertha Berlin this season, while returnee Thilo Kehrer has risen to prominence since tying down a regular first-team spot at Paris Saint-Germain.
