Thomas Muller believes Germany have a stronger squad heading to the World Cup than they did four years ago, when they beat Argentina in the final.
Joachim Low s side lifted the trophy in Brazil with a 1-0 victory thanks to Mario Gotze s extra-time goal.

Having watched the 2008 League Cup final from the stands, Tottenham midfielder Ryan Mason is eager to make his mark against Chelsea.
Ryan Mason has the chance to help Tottenham to League Cup glory against Chelsea on Sunday, having watched from the stands when the sides last met in the showpiece in 2008.
Tottenham triumphed 2-1 on that occasion, with Jonathan Woodgate scoring four minutes into extra-time to snare victory.
I was at the stadium, recalled Spurs midfielder Mason. It was a tense game, they took the lead and then Woody popped up at the end with a bit of a fortunate goal, but they hung on and I just remember it as a great occasion.
It was a great occasion for the club and hopefully we can reproduce that on Sunday and win the trophy.

It’s deja vu all over this evening as the Seattle Seahawks are set to appear in their second straight Thursday Night Football game.

England’s squad for Euro 2020 began to take shape on Tuesday morning when Mason Greenwood withdrew to “recover fully from an underlying injury” and James Ward-Prowse and Jesse Lingard were informed they would not be in the final 26.
All three players were in Gareth Southgate’s provisional 33-man squad that is being trimmed on Tuesday.

Lingard excelled at West Ham after joining on loan from United but has not done enough to earn a place at the European Championship.
