Interesting lineup for the upcoming World Cup - as a consequence of FIFA'S Uqustionably Highly Competent and Just Ranking System, Germany could play in groups ranging from
Germany to Germany
Spain Peru
Denmark Senegal
Japan Pánama
Which is practically the same level of difficulty, right? Peru and Mexico in pot one, Denmark and Spain in two. My.
F.A.Z. did an interesting imaginary team of non-participants, including substitutes. Isn't that an impressive lineup?
Goal: Gianluigi Buffòn, Italy
3-man defence chain: Giorgio Chiellini (ITA), Sokratis (GR), David Alaba (A)
Defensive midfielders: Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sánchez, both CHI
Offensive midfielders: Nuri Sahin (TUR), Naby Keita (GUI), Arjen Robben (NED)
Attackers: Paul-Éméric Aubameyang (GAB), Gareth Bale (WAL)
Subs:
Lukáš Hrádecký (FIN)
Andrea Barzagli (ITA)
Hakan Calhanoglu (TUR)
Christian Pulisic (USA)
Andrej Jarmolenke (UKR)
Edin Dzeko (BOS)
Solomon Kalou (CIV, and Hertha player. Of course, they fucked up)
I think that's a CL quarterfinalist, at least, right there.
