Based on his City form a crazy decision but if his form for the national has not replicated his City form and he is not used in the same way it would make more sense. Hopefully it will not affect his confidence and make him more determined to make his presence felt over the next few years.

inSane decision but I suspect the Germans know what they are doing. Should make for a few extra weeks at Butlins for the lad though

A guy I work with, German Bayern Fan, said Sane has been terrible for the national team, he doesn't get it as he knows he has been sensational for us..

Punishment no doubt for daring to spurn the German Rags.
Ha ha. Stop it now.

Absolutely shocked by this. Good for us, bad for him. Hope he doesn't feel that not playing for Bayern caused this. Paranoia on my part but it's one of the first thoughts that crossed by mind. It's impossible for me to believe he isn't among the best German nationals. Rest up Leroy and push on next season.
You maybe not to far away about him not moving and playing for Bayern...
Maybe the coach is sending a message on behalf of German football?
It was similar for a while in Italy - if you played outside of Italy you simply
did not represent or play for Italy.

Form would be a reason to not start him. They're taking Brandt, Reus, and Draxler and you'd have a hard time saying that any outperformed Sane over the past 2 years. And that's ignoring other midfielders of a different sort who are also on the plane for them (Kroos, Khedira, Gundogan, Rudy, and Goretzka is a lot of CM types)

Just wow!
The rest of the squad must be out if this world...
Er no selecting Draxler and Brandt over Sane is like shooting yourself in the foot. Good news for everyone else at the world cup and that's for sure.

He doesn't replicate his club form for us when playing for Germany. He also doesn't fit the compact system that Low prefers. Plus Reus plays in the same-ish position. madness I know, he'd be one of the first choices for England.

Disgrace, I feel so bad for him. Hopefully he comes back better, angrier and hungrier next season.
