seeing how Klose, Podolski, Shurrle, Mertesacker all normally start for them is not really considering it a Z side. I would say a B side at worst. Draxler is a great talent. So are both the benders. You only really have 2 players whom i never heard of. That was your lb and your cdm. Ter Stegen is supposed to be the up and coming keeper in Germany as well.
USA actually played one of their best games.
nop, not true. schürrle, poldi and mertesacker are NO starters when löw has all players available. klose is the only one. and ter stegen is #3 or #4 (neuer & adler are #1 & #2, then zieler & ter stegen although i think trapp and weidenfeller are better than these 2).
be that as it may, your boys did a good job, they seemed really motivated and fought for every ball, especially all the german born players looked like they wanted to prove something. i think it was an exciting match for the audience and a nice birthday present...
