German national soccer team head coach Joachim Löw has named a squad of 26 players ahead of next month's European Championship in Austria and Switzerland.
Fifteen of the players named in a ceremony held at the top of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, were members of the squad that finished third in the World Cup two years ago. Among the surprises was the fact that long-time No. 2 goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand was left out of the squad. Germany's first match of the European Championship is against Poland in Klagenfurt on June 8.
