Aged 30. Can't see why he's done this to be honest.
Means Mertesacker will be German captain?

STRONG rumour:
Lahm won't play anymore in the german national team.
His manager Roman Grill confirmed the rumours in a german newspaper but there is no official announcement from the DFB or Lahm so far.

I highly doubt that Mertesacker will become captain I also guess he won't be a starter anymore.
Mertesacker is nearly 30 while Hummels and among others Boateng are in there mid 20s so they will be our CB pair in the future.
Khedira, Hummels or Müller could become our new captain.
I guess the old members of the "golden generation" like Schweinsteiger, Mertesacker and maybe Podolski will make it to the EC2016 but the minority of them as a starter. Besides the striker position there are young highly talented players for every position also check out which younger players we missed cause of injury at the WC f.e. Reus, Gündogan, both Benders ..

Will Poldi go to the Euros in 2016? He didn't play much in the WC, so I doubt he would, especially with Reus there.

Dunno to be fair the team would have won the WC easily without him, he did nothing that the players on the bench couldn't have done.
