I didnt realise Lahm was rated the best defender in world cup history. What has he done to justify this claim? He has finished 2nd and 3rd in the two world cups he has competed in, hardly the record of the best ever world cup defender. I would suggest removing this statement.

Well, he is German. So, him being called the best defender is justified. Kingjeff 22:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re-write

This entire article needs to be re-written. The tone is not suitable and the statements aren't referenced. While we all know he is a great full-back, statements like "he doesn't give out until he comes out with the ball" and "crosses usually end in assists" are ridiculous.

- - I agree that the article does need to be rewritten but mostly because the semifinals for the euro 2008 were today and i believe he scored a goal so this article needs stuff added to it.***
