#5 A golden generation of German football is upon us
Germany had done a lot of research before sending this young team to Russia. This group of players had never played together before but in the past three and a half weeks, they gelled well and with great determination won the coveted trophy. The U-21 side also did their job by beating Spain in the final of the Euros. In all of this, the likes of Manuel Neuer, Jerome Boateng, Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller are not even counted with the major German stars being rested this summer.
One thing is for certain – manager Joachim Low will have a nightmare of a job to select a 23-man squad for the next year's World Cup from these exciting group of players. He said after the win over Chile that a pool of 50 players can get into the final German squad which is a massive victory for the German board and for their philosophy. It is an exciting era for the players and the supporters alike with Die Mannschaft ruling the world in almost every age group.
