So Jogi is naming the preliminary squad
Since Bayern, Dortmund and Real Madrid aren’t done with their games, it’s an extended squad of 27. This’ll be interesting.
Goal:
- Manuel Neuer
- Mar-André ter Stegen
- Tim Wiese
- Ron-Robert Zieler
- Holger Badstuber
- Jerome Boateng
- Benedikt Höwedes
- Mats Hummels
- Philip Lahm
- Per Mertesacker
- Marc Schmelzer
- Lars Bender
- Sven Bender
- Julian Draxler
- Mario Götze
- Ilkay Gündogan
- Sami Khedira
- Toni Kroos
- Thomas Müller
- Mesut Özil
- Lukas Podolski
- Marco Reus
- Andre Schürrle
- Bastian Schweinsteiger
- Mario Gomez
- Miroslav Klose
- Cacau
The biggest surprise is probably Draxler, although understandable. Now, what are your thoughts? Will these guys bring home the big one?
And I really need to stop posting things on the wrong tumblr.
Can I blame my hormones? I can, right? RIGHT? Ugh.
It’s all Moffats fault. Always.
you want to kill meh
Please excuse the randomness of this, but OH MY GOD HE IS MIGHTY FINE.
You know what? I’m freakin’ EXCITED about Group B. It’s gonna rock. Group A is a snooze-fest and I can live without Italy or Spain in the group stage, thankyouverymuch. Now we should start the funding for all those tissues Ronaldo is gonna need. Poor cry baby….
The line-up against the Ukraine
Zieler
Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Aogo
Träsch, Khedira
Götze, Kroos, Özil
Gomez
Mario Gomez will be leading the team as the captain, while Philip Lahm is celebrating his birthday at home, watching the game
(I know I didn’t cover the game properly, but between my incredible slow internet-connection, stupid tumblr und my darling Bastian Schweinsteiger being out with an injury, I simply wasn’t inspired. It’ll get better, PROMISE.)
The German National Team commemorates Robert Enke
