Sneaker is entirely correct - Müller was joking and totally overplaying his response. I just thought Schweinsteiger's assist was hilarious, since the reporter didn't get it. I'm also _sure_ that Müller was still genuine. He couldn't care less about the Golden Boot, he was in it for the world championship title. |

I'm mildly surprised to hear about Lahm, who would have had an outside chance to be a starter in Russia. But I guess he wanted to go out on top, and who can blame him?
Lahm was arguably the most important player on this run, though Muller and Noyer could make a hell of a case. When Low finally extracted his head from his nether regions and moved Lahn to fullback is when Germany really blossomed as a unit.

Lamh is 30 this year, he'll be past his prime by the time the next world cup comes along especially how he plays. With a world cup medal, a lot of the older players probably won't be there for the next World Cup as well as a lot of are close to 30 which is considered the point where you are past your prime (except for Klose but he's a goal poacher so stamina/speed is not a big issue).
The German team would probably have to revamp some of it's core with new/young players for the Euro if they want to have a better tested team for the next World Cup.
