Big, big surprises!
Goal: Lehmann, Enke, Adler
Defense: Metzelder, Mertesacker, Lahm, A.Friedrich, M.Jansen, C.Fritz, H.Westermann
Midfield: Ballack, Hitzlsperger, Rolfes, Frings, Schweinsteiger, Trochowski, Borowski, Jones, Odonkor, Marin
Attack: Klose, Podolski, Gomez, Kuranyi, Neuville, Helmes
(note: 3 players have to leave the squad after the training camp on Mallorca)
Wow, Löw leaves Hildebrandt at home. It looks as if Hilde and Schäfer should have sticked to their clubs before the season.
Good choice with Adler. He's the keeper of the future, besides Neuer, and it isn't bad to give him that experience.
Neuville.. well, ok. He still is good for such a goal like in 2006 against Poland. The next big surprise after Adler is Marin. He played a great season for Gladbach, but only in the 2nd divsion. In my eyes this comes a bit too early, but in a way he deserves it more than the overrated Trochowski. Helmes in the attack is a huge chance killer, although he played better in the second half of the season.
