I dont think that neither Khedira nor Gündogan are going to Brazil. Khedira wont have any match practice and would still be in recovery state and far far away from 100% fitness. Lahm is already playing Khediras position, so the only question left is Götze or Kroos as CAM. Löw will use Peps layout for WC and fail miserably. Also depends how the season ends for Bayern. If we lose unlucky like 2012 against Chelsea or get shot to hell by Real and BVB then its going to be an underwhelming WC for Germany.
I wish Reus and Hummels would play but seeing Löw always copying van Gaal, Heynckes and Pep, I dont have much hope. I even think that he considers Schürrle in front of Reus :/

Juventus Coach Antonio Conte says he is sorry about the way his exchange of words with Rafa Benitez has been reported in the media.
The Napoli boss last week publicly offered to give the Old Lady tactician advice on how to beat Benfica, given that he did so with Chelsea last season.
Conte initially refused but now believes Benitez’s words were twisted by the media in order to give them a negative slant.
“I am sorry that Benitez’s words were reported in a bad way by the media,” Conte said to Rai Sport.
“I’m sorry because it seems to me like Benitez was being serious with what he said, in the sense that he was offering a helping hand.
“Let’s says that some newspapers didn’t report it in the right way.
“I think Benitez was being genuine, so it’s up to me now whether I call him or not.
“Looking at his words now, on his part it looks like it was a serious and genuine offer.
“Reading about it before however it didn’t seem that way, so I’m sorry.
“I know very well that it’s more important to report about a Benitez row with Conte than about an offer by Benitez to Conte.”
I think Germany are going to choke in spectacular fashion like always. The question is which will of the following will it be: Another tough loss to spain, a crushing defeat in the semis to a lesser talented side like Italy, a penalty shootout loss, or a loss to Brazil in the final again. So many ways to disappoint.
Torres is always in contact with the team to wish them luck and occasionally sends me messages. He is delighted with everything that’s happening at Atleti. How could he not want to return to the club where he was born?
