Striker makes light of snub

BAYER Leverkusen forward Stefan Kiessling appears to be taking the latest snub by Germany coach Joachim Loew in his stride.

The striker, who has been left out of Loew’s World Cup squad for Brazil despite 40 Bundesliga goals in the past two seasons, is featured on an advert for a DIY company making light of his omission, under the slogan: “It is always best at home.”

A picture of the first billboard carrying a photo of Kiessling relaxing in a garden and saying he prefers to stay home with OBI, was posted by the DIY chain on its Facebook page yesterday. Kiessling, the 2012/13 Bundesliga top scorer, has won just six caps — his last appearance back at the 2010 World Cup. Many Germans had been calling for his inclusion. “Stefan Kiessling and OBI support our boys,” the ad also reads.
