We have a bunch of talented players but world class players are still rare. I think we had just 3 world class players in the World Cup. Namely Neuer, Özil and Lahm. Basically the axix that kept the team on course. Players like Boateng, Hummels, Kroos or Müller may have the potential to world class but they aren't there yet.
The individual German player just looks a lot better because everyone is facilitating each other.
That's why I mourn the loss of one of our very few world class players.

Wait. Did you just put Ozil above Hummels? Ozil has been poor for a while now and Hummels is one of the most solid centre backs in the world. Germany do have quite a few options in Hummels position but he is still by far their best defender.

Now that Lahm is gone, he is. I like Hummels and Boateng and they're great in their own right but what Germany needs are world class full backs. Badstuber is back from his injuries but who knows if he will ever play as well as he did before.
Hummels is still too slow and error prone that I would lift him to world class.
A thought that just came to me. How cool would Lahm be as a future coach for the team :)
