The U- 17 of the DFB was able to qualify for the third time in a row since 1995 for the tournament, but not tied to the success at the last World Cup, when you still reached the semifinals. This time they dropped out after two goalless draws and one defeat already out in the first round. Convince could both goalkeepers Jan Locks and Dennis Eilhoff as well as the defensive line, mainly because Florian Thorwart, Torsten Reuter and Michael Fink. Midfield and attack were lacking in creativity and effectiveness on the other hand, what is also apparent in only one shot at goal in three games. Despite this rather moderate cutting made it three players in the course of her career up to the senior team of the DFB: Andreas Hinkel, Thomas Hitzlsperger and Andreas Görlitz, tellingly everything defensively oriented players. With Kringe and Michael Fink this team sprang two Bundesliga regulars while the remaining squads either in the 2nd league or amateur football took hold.
