In a stunning critique, former Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger has expressed his outrage following Germany's dismal 2-0 defeat against Slovakia.

"I played 121 games for Germany and never once encountered an attitude problem. When you represent your country, you must give it your all, whether it’s a friendly or the World Cup Final," Schweinsteiger stated emphatically.

He didn't hold back in his assessment of the match, saying, "Honestly, I never believed for a second that we could win. This is a significant setback. Our performance was poor; we lacked precision in our passing and failed to create any real threats. The moment we went behind, our body language said it all—there was none left."

Schweinsteiger insists that to achieve success, players must exhibit resilience and recognize when they’ve underperformed: "If we play like this, we’d be lucky just to qualify for the World Cup."

He wasn't wrong—Germany displayed a distinct lack of energy and determination, leaving fans and analysts alike reeling.

With a tight schedule ahead, there’s little time to recover. Major adjustments are desperately needed as the pressure mounts.

Germany entered the match looking to establish momentum in their World Cup qualifying round, but it didn’t pan out as hoped.

Head Coach Julian Nagelsmann, known for his tactical experiments, made some questionable lineup decisions that didn’t pay off, leading to the disappointing 2-0 loss. The players underperformed, and the coaching decisions left much to be desired.

In the aftermath of this debacle, there’s much to unpack. Stay tuned as we break down the team's starting lineup, review the goals and substitutions, and offer our final thoughts on this disheartening match.
