Germany Legend Oliver Kahn Reveals His Pick for Die Mannschaft's Starting World Cup Goalkeeper

Former Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has revealed that he would start Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen ahead of Manuel Neuer in Die Mannschaft's opening World Cup game against Mexico on Sunday.

Joachim Löw has been handed a selection headache following Neuer's return to fitness. The Bayern Munich goalkeeper hasn't played a competitive game since September, when he suffered a metatarsal fracture, but was included in Germany's 23-man World Cup squad, and featured heavily in recent friendlies to Austria and Saudi Arabia.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen, on the other hand, was an ever-present figure for La Liga champions Barcelona last season, starting 37 of their 38 league games.
