📲 World Cup fate sealed? Social media reacts to Germany’s shame

With a 0:2 loss, the German national team lost their first World Cup qualifier match in Slovakia. A historical humiliation that, of course, made waves on social media.

Before the match, Slovakia was only ranked 52nd in the world rankings. A deceptive package?

It was probably more due to the weak performance of the Germans that the Slovaks looked so good. Or maybe we need to take off the DFB glasses.

Among others, Florian Wirtz was sharply criticized for his performance. He seems to be a friend of uncomfortable words.

In the summer, the playmaker transferred to Liverpool for well over 100 million euros. On 'X', his market value drastically dropped after the Slovakia game.

After such a weak performance, national coach Julian Nagelsmann is naturally also under criticism. Is a Porsche already bubbling somewhere in the Ruhr area?

Or was Nagelsmann simply always carried by his assistant?

'ARD' expert Bastian Schweinsteiger wanted, according to his own guidelines, not to verbally bash the DFB team live on television. But he did it anyway. So we don't want to withhold this (not so charming) analysis from you.

Only one German player reached a normal level. That wasn't right either.

Maybe it was already clear before the game which direction it was going.

Germany can do everything better on Sunday against Northern Ireland (8:45 PM).
