World Cup 2018: 5 players who should be dropped by Germany

#5 Jerome Boateng

Boateng was sent off against Sweden

Hummels and Jerome Boateng were once one of the best defensive partnerships in the world, but not anymore. Though the 29-year-old cannot be blamed for the defeat against Mexico, he was not assured at the back in any of the games he played.

His worst moment of the World Cup game came against Sweden. He was shown a red card in the second half after he secured a second booking. He committed an unnecessary foul and was given his marching orders.

Though Germany managed to win the game, it was a moment of madness from one of their seasoned campaigners. He was banned for the game against South Korea and eventually sat on the bench to watch his team crash out of the World Cup.
