It is this competition to be on the starting team that has always made Germany so dominant in friendlies.
Players are not willing to even take a small, inconsequential, friendly lightly because they know if they don't perform they will lose their spot in the squad.

Competition for spots and Low's willingness to cut vets in favour of younger players hungry for their spot is a big part of Germany's recipe for success.
Look at the last little while, Low cut Klose in favour of Gomez. A couple years ago Gomez couldnt hit the broadside of a barn, but this year hes probably the most prolific striker in the world.
They are definitely a fun team to watch. The Dutch didnt live up to their billing. Sneijder did absolutely nothing all game and I think Neuer had to save one shot that came right at him.
