Germany embarrasses: 0-2 defeat against France in the home game!
The German national soccer team experienced a bitter disappointment as part of the Nations League 2025. On June 8, the team lost the game for third place against France with 0: 2. This defeat took place in Stuttgart and was followed by 51,313 spectators. Despite a strong group phase in which Germany celebrated five victories and a draw, the team played under their possibilities in this decisive game and ended the tournament as the last.The game was characterized by numerous opportunities for the German team, but the ball just didn't want to go online. Florian Wirtz in particular was unlucky when he hit the post in the 36th minute. In addition, Germany was denied a penalty after the referee revised his decision in the 31st minute after video studies and reversed a supposed wrong decision.
key moments of the game
The crucial moment in the first half came in added time when Kylian Mbappé scored 1-0 after a bad pass from Joshua Kimmich (45.+1). Michael Olise increased to 2-0 in the 84th minute, prepared by Mbappé. Despite the efforts and the high willingness of the German players, they remained ineffectively in front of the opposing goal.
In the second half, the German team disappointed after a promising start, where it put pressure on the French defensive with high pressing. Deniz Undav scored a supposed goal to 1-1 in the 54th minute, which was not recognized due to a foul. Goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen was one of the few bright spots that parried several shots by Marcus Thuram and other French attackers.
outlook on the World Cup qualification
According to this defeat, Germany faces challenges, especially in view of the upcoming World Cup qualification, which begins against Slovakia and Northern Ireland in September. National coach Julian Nagelsmann admitted that there was a system error and switched from a triple to a chain of four. Pascal Groß Aleksandar Pavlovic replaced in defensive midfield, and Karim Adeyemi played instead of Leroy Sané. With these results, it will be important for Nagelsmann and his players to learn from the mistakes of this defeat. While some players like Joshua Kimmich will fly to the US club World Cup, others will take part in the U21 European Championship or say goodbye to vacation.The disappointment about leaving in their own country will accompany the national team, but the opportunity to revenge in the coming games could mark a new beginning. The path to the World Cup will be crucial to restore trust in the team and to continue writing German football history.
