“Germany’s hara-kiri”: press comments on the DFB embarrassment

“Picture”: “Debacle start for Germany! That can’t be true! The national team made a fool of themselves at the start of the World Cup with a 1:2 draw against outsiders Japan. And under their own leadership! The debacle is strongly reminiscent of the bitter 2018 tournament in Russia, where Germany lost 1-0 to Mexico and then went out of the group stage for the first time ever. Are we starting again?!”

“tz”: “Germany’s eight-minute debacle against Japan. Japan turns the game here within eight minutes, Germany makes the World Cup false start. Is there already a threat of the end on Sunday? Then comes a completely different caliber with Spain. A second defeat and that Eliminating in the group stage would be almost certain.”

“Berlin newspaper”: “Disgrace at the start: A neglectful DFB-Elf loses against Japan. The German national team starts the tournament with a 1-2 defeat because they allow the Japanese to come back after Gündogan made it 1-0.”

Italy:

“La Republica”: “The fall of the gods: After Argentina, Germany also falls.”

Gazzetta dello Sport: “Germany’s hara-kiri: Japan pulls off the coup and wins 2-1 after catching up.”

Switzerland:

“View”: “It takes your breath away. Instead of starting the World Cup with an easy win, Germany is already in trouble after 90 minutes in Qatar. (…) Japan creates the sensation. And leaves the whole of Germany speechless.”

Netherlands:

‘Algemeen Dagblad’: “Germany impresses with a statement, but won’t let its legs do the talking and goes down against Japan. Germany only made an impression ahead of the game against Japan on Wednesday. With a smashing statement against FIFA, the players gave a clear message . The performance after that was a lot less convincing. Which meant: just like four years ago, the team got off to a bad start again, this time with a 2-1 loss to Japan.”

Great Britain:

“The Sun”: “The Mexicans waved them goodbye four years ago. And when the Mexican wave swept through the Chalifa stadium, Germany could be on the way home again quickly thanks to the Japanese super substitutes.”

Spain:

“AS”: “Harakiri of Germany: Flick’s men couldn’t close a game they controlled and the Japanese spirit led to the second big upset of this World Cup.”
