This decision wasn’t made on that one Game against the US-Team. They had a race for nr.1 ever since Klinsmann was made national-coach, Lehmann just played a better season with Arsenal compared to Kahn with Bayern Munich, both are still atleast Top 15 in the World when it come to Goalkeepers.
This decision really doesn’t matter for germanys World Cup opponents because both goalies are great players. But what is a good Keeper with a weak defense ? We’ll see

Huge mistake, Kahn is the best damn goalkeeper from recent times, he makes Chilavert look like shit, I just hope he doesnt quit the team before the cup, his motto is “never give up”, well I hope he lisent to himself on that one.

To be honest, I think this is great news for Ecuador. I believe the best German keeper is Timo Hildebrand and I think Oliver Kahn brings a certain confidence or mystique to the German side that Lehmann doesn’t (see WC 2002). Although Lehmann is on-form for Arsenal right now, it will be interesting to see how he does with Huth as first-choice centre-back.
