In a shocking turn of events, the German national team suffered a 0:2 defeat in their World Cup qualifier match against Slovakia. The match, which took place recently, was watched by an average of 7.47 million viewers on ARD, securing a market share of 35.1 percent.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, former national player and current ARD expert, expressed his disappointment with the team's performance. Schweinsteiger, who has never shied away from voicing his opinions, stated that the problems with the German national team did not start on the day of the match, but have been ongoing for several years. He emphasized that the team's performance was "embarrassing."
Schweinsteiger noted that losing a duel is acceptable, but losing the third or fourth one is not. He expressed concern about the team's future, stating that the only hope is for the players to sit down and have an honest conversation.
