Time is coming, we're almost there. But the powerful DFB will proceed step by step, no hurry. By the way, after a first "effort" done on past march through a match between Poland and an All Stars selection from German futsal (see VIDEO, REPORT ONE, TWO and THREE) things were again on progress on past december, where DFB approved the participation of a South German selection in the 4 Nations tournament played in Berna and won by Belgium. The team was entrusted to Oliver Kuhn and got a more than encouraging win over host Switzerland in semifinal, before losing to the Dopchie's more expert roster in final. According to the DFB this is to be considered as the first official participation of a German Futsal selection ever, though we're not obviously yet talking about the "real and definitive" Germany. But, let's repeat... time is coming! Below have a look at the roster selected by Oliver Kuhn.
