Why is German soccer not working these days

As everyone commented, the arrogance and prejudice of the Germans made them lose to Japan, who underestimated the ambition and ability of the Japanese team to beat a strong team.

Lack of conviction to win against Spain

The match with Spain was originally a must-win for Germany, but Japan's unexpected loss to Costa Rica has made the Germans less demanding, preserving a draw and blooding Costa Rica in the next round.

Spain is perfectly capable of accepting a draw, so why should Germany? Maybe it has something to do with Rüdiger finding Carvajal to talk to after the match, maybe they think Spain won't let Japan off the hook, or they think Japan's passing game is not worth mentioning in front of the master Spain, and the Germans think Spain won't lose to Japan.

The harsh truth tells Germany that the only person you can trust in the World Cup is yourself, Spain can lose to pick their opponents, and Japan can put up a fight for their best ever result! I'm sure if Japan hadn't lost to Costa Rica, Germany would have fought hard to win against Spain.

Lost the tradition of German football

The biggest advantage of German soccer in my impression is to play high and bombard the opponents with the headers of the centers, however, after the retirement of Klose, the center of the German team is directly cut off, the most suitable for the position of the shadow winger Havertz was topped to the center position, there is no more traditional center of the hold, Muller has also lost the magic of the past 2 World Cup scored 10 goals.

Frick could not have been unaware of the difference between the German national team and Bayern, which lacked a center forward like Lewin and had no choice but to play without a striker. But do not understand is to play Japan why not morning high center Phil Kruger, Flick can not not know Japan's weakness is afraid of overhead kicks.

Germany play pass and control is not impossible, the premise must have Kroos or ?zil such ability of the core of the midfield, just counting on the 19-year-old Mushara to carry the flag is unrealistic.

Not focused enough, distracted by the call for so-called human rights

The whole team covering their mouths in the opening group photo below of Germany and Japan may be one of the great classic moments of the World Cup, and it may be that they would like to express and perhaps change something through these, but it will undoubtedly distract them from thinking about things that have nothing to do with soccer.

The existence of differences in values should be respected, Qatar has its own reasons for not identifying with homosexuality and should at least show respect for the hosts and FIFA on the pitch.
