Germany National Football Team Out: Philipp Lahm In: No one to replace him |
Blödsinn. We really are a country full of doubters... Philipp was and is one of the world's best defenders, but everyone is replacable. Over the next few years the face of the national team will hopefully change even more. I hope Miro (one of the best forwards we ever had, and we had quite a few ones) will announce retirement already prior to Euro 2016 qualifying and Bastian after Euro 2016 at the very latest. You saw what happened to Italy and (to a lesser extent to) Spain when a successful national team doesn't change quickly enough. Italy for example still haven't learned their lesson, they still consider to continue with Andrea Pirlo. Still a fantastic player, but he definitely should have retired from the national team after Euro 2012 to make way for a new system that's not built around him.
