I haven't been able to post for the last two days so my Germany thoughts are a little late
As a fan of the German National team since I was six years old when I first saw them play in the '06 World Cup I cannot express any more just sheer disappointment and borderline visceral anger for this team at the moment. None of those players deserve to wear the four stars on their jerseys. Mueller was incredibly disappointing after winning best young player and the golden boot in 2010 and almost winning the golden four years ago. Jogi Loew should be fired immediately after this clunky and embarrassing exit. The 2018 Germany is an imitation of the Germany of prior years that I grew up loving to watch. I hope that immediate changes occur and that Die Mannschaft will become their former selves once again.
