Germany names squad

Tottenham's Christian Ziege and Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann were both selected by Rudi Voller in an experienced German World Cup squad which, as promised, contained few surprises.

Voller has gambled on the fitness of Hertha Berlin midfielder Sebastian Deisler, who has had knee surgery and a thigh injury, and Werder Bremen's Marko Rehmer, still sidelined with an ankle problem, who were both included.
