its a very unselfish act

sven obviously wants to win the wc, but is taking a risk by considering the future of the national team and by blooding new talent. Thing is, a lot of countries take no players younger than 21 to the WC, and develop a youth team which then graduates into the new first XI when it's mature enough. Not sure which is the best technique, but it's brave of sven.
