I don't think that Germany will even reach finals now.

Korea, Portugal, Sweden and Japan are stronger now

That is because of his training.
I also heared that he is playing lot worse since he stopped the doping.
I also heared that Timo Boll is training only 3 times per week, just 1,5 hours each training.
Guess howmuch Dima is spending with training .. ?
I think many of those guys are just training wrong. They are trying to train as much as they can, but maybe they are doing it wrong. Maybe less but more intense would be better.. who knows?

In all honesty, there's high probability that they won't even get out of the group stages. The top 2 go through I think, so Sweden, then France/England - probably France though.

Ah! I do agree on it, but since I am a big Timo Boll fan... It hurts to accept, but lets see...[emoji22] [emoji22]

I agree that it will be hard for Germany to beat the one or other team even in group stage without Ovtcharov and a Boll far away from being fit (lost against Gauzy today in Bundesliga i.e.).
However, I am sure they will come through group stage as the best three teams proceed, not only two, you are wrong, see http://www.ittf.com/World_Events/wttc_2016/2016_WTTC_Playing_System.pdf

If they don't finish in top three in their group it would be a shame, even under these tough circumstances.
