Man oh man, the German football federation sure know how to grind a fistful of coarse sea salt into a guy’s gaping flesh wounds.
Earlier this morning, the DFB were quick to wish Marco Reus many happy returns on the day of the Borussia Dortmund forward’s 27th birthday…
Just two hours later, they were cutting him from the squad for Euro 2016…
This is a #EURO2016 shocker. Germany have left Marco Reus and his 23 goals this season OUT of their squad. pic.twitter.com/QLQdhnE6OC

Ouch.
It should be noted that Reus isn’t fully fit and therefore his Euro 2016 omission isn’t quite as big a shock as some would have you believe, but still… that’s an ice cold way to break bad news to a fellow!
