    Two main reasons. The first is that there is generally high competition for senior NT selections in Germany. So players of dual backgrounds that aren't an obvious lock to be selected may feel impatient and would rather go with an easier route of representing other national teams, where there is often less competition.

    People often don't want to go into these discussions as it may be uncomfortable, but the second reason is that contemporary Germany is seen as a post-modern state. It is very multi-cultural, with various degrees of integration. At times you're going to have children of immigrants who identify more with the homeland of their parents. I've spoken to a German-born guy of Portuguese background who speaks German fluently, educated and raised in Germany, and it full integrated, but will say he only identifies as being Portuguese.

    Louey Ben Farhat drawing attention from Dortmund, Bayern, Eintracht Frankfurt, and several Italian and French sides—including Atalanta and Lyon. Karlsruher could let him go for around €10 to 12 million

    I agree but Morocco is not an average side. They are better than Germany in the last few years and it won't be easier for players to break through there as well. Some laws should change I believe to avoid having talents developed in 1 country then being stolen by another . I think we could have more than 20 players developed in Germany representing other nations in the next WC.

    Matanovic scored a goal vs Celta de Vigo as Freiburg advance into the EL semi finals

    He's become pretty consistent for them this second half of the season onwards. Not fully there yet but could be one of the better strikers in the Buli next season if he keeps developing further

    Another big loss for the mannchaft in future. Philip Pavic 16 yrs old bayern CB decides to represent Croatia instead of his birth country Germany. I was counting on him for the future but it seems we should never count on players from East Europe origin. The good thing is that he left early rather than play all our youth tournaments with Germany

    Louai Ben Farhat's father refused call up from Tunisia for his son to the WC.
    Hopefully this means he is waiting for a call up from Nagelsmann after the WC when his son makes switch to BL
