They must be quite good then !!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44355950 We could never afford to leave out SWP! Sane being dropped from the squad was a surprise after an excellent season with City, which saw him named the Premier League's young player of the year. He scored 14 goals and assisted 19 in all competitions as City won the league with five games to spare. Midfielder Ozil scored five times and made 14 assists for Arsenal. However Ozil did create 84 chances in the Premier League, compared to Sane's 58. Low said it was a "very close decision" between Sane and Julian Brandt, who scored 12 goals and made seven assists for fifth-placed Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen this year. Sane had played in six of Germany's past seven games, including starting in their most recent game - Saturday's 2-1 loss to Austria.
Lulling everyone into a false sense of security, you just know they'll turn it on once they are in Russia.
To be fair Löw know to pick a squad for a tournament. I've seen many of their qualifying matches and he's been ****, simples. Doesn't fit in and doesn't do the hard yards. Germany's way of playing demands 100% commitment to the cause, they are the the best example of the sum of its parts outweighs the individual. He simply doesn't provide that. I would pick Julian Brandt before Sane too. The stats speak for themselves.
Germany worth a punt if their squad is so strong that Sane is deemed not to be worth a place. Highly impressive in the Premiership.
