World Cup analysis: Germany’s lineup vs Sweden
Marco Reus Jogi Löw’s lineup against Sweden makes four key changes. We break down what they mean. After a week of riddling, Germany’s official lineup is at last here. German National Coach Jogi has made four changes to the lineup that feel meekly to Mexico last week. TEAM NEWS Here's how #GER line up for our Group F #WorldCup clash with #SWE #DieMannschaft #ZSMMN #GERSWE pic.twitter.com/Csnj60YeGL— Germany (@DFB_Team_EN) June 23, 2018Marco Reus has replaced Mesut Özil, Sebastian Rudy replaces Sami Khedira, Jonas Hector replaces Marvin Plattenhardt, and Antonio Rüdiger replaces Mats Hummels. What does it mean? Media Two of the changes are self explanatory: Jonas Hector is over the cold that sidelined him against Mexico, so Germany’s preferred starter at left-back is fit and ready to go. That is very good news for Germany, because Marvin Plattenhardt struggled to get involved in the game at all against Mexico.In the central defense, Antonio Rüdiger has replaced an injured Mats Hummels. Hummels twisted his neck in training and was not expected to start. Although many think Hummels’s teammate at Bayern Munich, Niklas Süle, should have been tapped to replace him, it is no surprise that Jogi Löw has opted instead for Chelsea’s Antonio Rüdiger, who has served as his first choice to backup the starters for much longer than Süle.The key changes are in the midfield and up front. The biggest surprise is of course Sebastian Rudy, who will play alongside Toni Kroos in place of Sami Khedira. Rudy will be tasked with maintaining the German team’s defensive stability when they are on the attack and will function also as the deeper lying half of a double-pivot with Kroos. The role is reminiscent of that of Javi Martinez on Jupp Heynckes’s Bayern team just this past season. Rudy played precisely the same role for Bayern on several occasions, as well, when Martinez was rested. Leon Goretzka, in contrast, is much more of an attacking midfielder, and it is not all too surprising that Löw would opt instead for the safer option in Rudy. Having Kroos to drive the attack while supporting the offense is enough in his eyes.Finally, Marco Reus has pushed Mesut Özil out of Germany’s starting lineup. It is a minor revolution for a notoriously conservative coach, but many had called for Özil’s head after an ineffective performance against Mexico. The decision came down to a choice between benching Özil or Julian Draxler, who played far better on Germany’s left wing than Özil in the center. Reus is precisely the kind of dynamic playmaker that Germany can need, and he is undeniably hungry for international success, after missing the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Euros entirely due to injury. If Germany’s midfield remains stable with Kroos and Rudy, then Reus will aim to coordinate Germany’s attackers and serve the ball to the wings or forward to Timo Werner. Löw’s subtle hyping of traditional striker Mario Gomez seems to have been merely a ruse.Since Mexico dispatched South Korea earlier this morning, Germany now have no room for error. This lineup must succeed. Read more...

VIDEO Sweden take shock lead against Germany
A delicate touch from Sweden winger Ola Toivonen to lift a chance over the head of Manual Neuer gave the Swedes a shock lead after just 32 minutes.Despite the beauty of the finish, the bigger picture is perhaps more compelling to look at.Germany have not exited a World Cup in the opening stage since 1938! It will also be another sad tale of World Cup champions failing to qualify out of the group stages.An unusual and bizarre pattern is beginning to unravel. In 2002, France (who had won the competition four years perviously) failed to qualify out of the group stage. In 2014, Spain also failed to defend their World Cup title with the European side crashing out of the group stage after defeats to both Holland and Chile.Italy also failed to qualify from their group in 2010 after winning the tournament four years perviously.Germany fell to a 1-0 defeat to Mexico in their opening World Cup campaign last weekend and conceding early to Sweden in their second fixture has revealed a concerning issue within the German camp.GOAL!! SWEDEN!! GERMANY ARE ON THE VERGE OF CRASHING OUT OF THE WORLD CUP!!#WorldCup #GER 0 – 1 #SWE #GERSWE pic.twitter.com/6plKFcwRsX— FIFA World Cup (@WorIdCupUpdates) June 23, 2018Read more...
