Salah is named in Egypt final Squad and no Sane in Germany !! 

Of course that's surprising, i think he would have been a better fit than Brandt, but Sane has always been shit for the national team, he wouldn't have really helped anyway. Personally i think that Gnabry would have done the best job out of those three, but sadly he's injured.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

 1st of all Sane played few games with Germany he's still young and It's the WC and every player does his best especially if it's his 1st one , i really can't understand how kind of player like him with great speed and ability to dribble , also good scorer can be out of WC and a player like Reus who get injured every 2 matches was taken , for me Sane is much better choice than brandt and i thought he'd be the best player in German team at the WC

Very pleasant and dynamic performance from Morocco tonight against SVK, our players were absolutely not in this match during the whole game, probably thinking already about the holidays, since this was the last match for all of them this season, hardly otherwise to explain the total and lamentable zero focusing, not existing determination and absolutely any interest for the game from our guys. I doubt if anyone in the white jerseys was running at even 50% :d but still fully deserved win for the Lions of Atlas

 

Herve Renard is one great coach, he´s system is really well working with the Africa players.

 

Morocco - Slovakia  2-1  Highlights

It's ok, most german fans understand this decision, while most non-german fans who only kow him from premier league can't understand it. It helps if you actually watched his matches in the national team, it's not that he wasn't good, he was just shockingly bad every single time he played. In 12 matches for the national team he didn't score a single goal and only had 1 assist (against Azerbaijan), there is no way he would have helped this team at the world cup. Brandt also won't do much, but at least he will stay quiet. Sane would have only been a back-up, so don't know why anyone would have thought that he would be the best german player at the world cup ... The front 4 will be Müller, Özil, Reus and Werner. If Reus is injured, he will be replaced by Draxler. Germany has enough speed with Werner and Reus, much more than this team had 2 or 4 years ago. Reus has been world-class whenever he played, now he seems to be fit, so clearly no reason to select Sane over him. Sane is a one-dimensional player, who never scores in the national team and loses the ball all the time, he would have given this team absolutely nothing. I would have clearly preferred Gnabry, who has been sensational this season. At the moment i would even prefer Havertz over Sane in the national team.

    • Frölunda Overcome Luleå in OT to Claim Fifth CHL Title   Game Recap   For only the second time in Champions Hockey League history, the Final went to overtime, wher e Frölunda Gothemburg were crowned 2025/26 European Club Champions as they took down Luleå Hockey 3-2 to lift the the European Trophy once again.    Jere Innala played hero for the hosts who secured their fifth CHL title in front of a sellout crowd in the Scandinavium.   Neither club conceded much ice to the opposition in a scoreless first period that showcased a solid demonstration in defence from both sides.   Though Frölunda ended the stanza with shots in their favour 8 to 3, it was an opportunity for Luleå, who almost broke the deadlock near the midway mark when a deflection in front nearly got past Tobias Normann, who made good on the save.    Then, early in the second, it was the visitors with another excellent attempt when a cross-ice feed almost found the back of the net on a tip-in chance that ricocheted off the far post as Normann slid across to manoeuver it back into play.    Later on, Luleå became the recipients of the first powerplay of the night, but it was the hosts taking advantage when the hero for Frölunda from the 2017 CHL Final put his team in front on a brilliant individual effort.   Nicklas Lasu, who went pointless in the Playoffs, intercepted a pass near the blueline before dashing towards the offensive zone, where he skated in all alone and wristed the puck past the blocker of Matteus Ward to open the scoring.   Puck dropped in the third and immediately Luleå set about dictating the pace of play and it paid off when Eeto Koivistoinen tipped in a shot from the point to even things at 1-1.   The side's leading scorer, Mathias Bromè, whipped the puck towards the net as Koivistoinen, who was parked just above the crease, got his stick on it to deflect it into the cage.   Minutes later, however, Frölunda found their second with a deflection of their own on the powerplay.    Play developed when Henkrik Tömmernes played catch with Innala along the near wall before fluttering the puck through traffic as Jacob Peterson managed to redirect it past Ward to regain the home side's one-goal lead.    The visitors continued to play desperate hockey in the final minutes of regulation and were rewarded when, with just 16 seconds to go in regulation, it was Luleå levelling the score thanks to Otto Leskinen's first-ever CHL goal.    Leskinen glided down the near side where the puck eventually made it to his stick, as he corralled it and then fired it far side past Normann.   In the extra session, it was some undisciplined play which resulted in a powerplay opportunity for Frölunda, who made the most of it when Innala converted on a one-timer from inside the near circle that beat Ward clean glove side to lift his team over Luleå and become the 2025/26 CHL Champions.
