Very sad news from Germany. No Reus!, Bellarabi, Rudy and Brandt at the european championships. Our team will be:

Neuer, Ter Stegen, Leno

Hummels, Höwedes, Boateng, Rüdiger, Mustafi, Hector, Can

Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Khedira, Özil, Kimmich, Weigl, Draxler, Podolski, Müller, Sane, Schürrle, Götze

Gomez

 

This is also very bad for our chances in Rio. Weigl, Kimmich, Rüdiger, Can, Draxler and Sane wouldve been very important for us.

Easy win for New Zealand that scored 5 goals in first half, with goals of Chris Wood double,Michael McGlinchey, Rory Fallon and Kosta Barbarouses.

Fiji overcome Solomon thanks at penalty of Roy Krishna, converted from the spot six minutes from time. Now both teams have three points, although Fiji look better placed to qualify, with Vanuatu awaiting in their next fixture and Solomons up against favourites New Zealand.

Some of the european losers, that didn't made it to the Euro are meeting in the traditional friendly tournament Kirin Cup, which makes its return after a 4 year absense. In the first semifinal Bosnia beat Denmark on penalties 4:3, after being 2:2 in regular and extra time. The other semifinal sees the hosts Japan going against our national pride (). History tells us that from 5 matches, we have 4 wins and 1 draw, so it is safe to say that it is time for a defeat.

Don't worry. You should be able to do better than us! 

A really bad loss against a unimpressive bosnian team, who even played the last 20 minutes with only 10 players.

By the way. No extra time,
