Uli Hoeneß critiques Germany's performance under Julian Nagelsmann
Summary

Uli Hoeneß expressed concerns about Germany's early exit from the FIFA World Cup following a penalty shootout loss to Paraguay on June 29, 2026. He emphasized that the team's issues were not solely the fault of coach Julian Nagelsmann, who has been urged to resign after the tournament. Hoeneß pointed to a lack of quality and fight in the squad, contrasting their performance with that of the Argentinian team, which reached the finals despite not being seen as a top-tier squad. Following this, Jürgen Klopp is set to take over as manager to improve the team's future prospects.
