German football has now an own Hall of Fame. The first inductees:
Keeper: Sepp Maier
Defenders: Paul Breitner, Franz Beckenbauer, Andreas Brehme
Midfielders: Fritz Walter, Lothar Matthäus, Matthias Sammer, Günter Netzer
Strikers: Helmut Rahn, Gerd Müller, Uwe Seeler
Not bad considering that defenders like Lahm, Berti Vogs and Jürgen Kohler (or midfielders like Thomas Häßler or Wolfgang Overath) didn't make it!
Why would Lahm make it over Brehme?
Kohler is indeed an important omission. Should be there over Helmut Rahn. I guess even the Germans make emotional decisions
Can't say that much has gone wrong with this list. They have a wide selection of course. I wonder how the Italian one would be like. The only two European nations that can probably fill up 4 excellent all time great lineups.
