WTF? What a bitch. Now I'm really glad that I didn't buy his jersey.

Germany just lost 50% of their defense and 30% of their offense. Bye bye potential future trophies.

its not like we dont have enough younger players to fill those gaps...

klose and lahm will be replaced soon.

Obviously looking at our playstyle Klose can easily be replaced by some other midfielder (or Gomez).

But there's no equal replacement for Lahm in sight. Hell, it's been over a decade and there hasn't been a world class left back. Höwedes did damn well this WC, but he's not even close to the performance Lahm does on the other side.
