Lichtenstein - World Cup Qualifier for Germany

On Saturday Germany played a World Cup qualifying game. Early in the game, with Germany leading 2-0, Mario Gomez, a star for the German team, missed a shot from close range. The commentator noted that Gomez hadn't scored in an international game for the German team in over a year. He then noted that the Lichtenstein team hadn't scored in an international game in over a year. The last goal Lichtenstein scored was in a 1-7 loss against Malta a year ago.

Needless to say, the German team had an easy time beating Lichtenstein 4-0. The led 2-0 in the 10th minute.

After watching Gomez play during the Euro 2008, I am really wondering why he is still on the national team.

That's a good point. In the big games he doesn't seem to have what it takes.
