Germany's national team suffered an embarrassing defeat to Paraguay in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, revealing a decline in the team's mental and tactical state, and a lack of confidence that was once a key feature of its history. The team has been experiencing a full decade of performance decline, having been eliminated early in the last three World Cups and not reaching the semi-finals since Euro 2016. Their performance against Paraguay showed a clear weakness in focus and boldness, especially during the penalty shootout, which included costly mistakes, such as a shot by a player who had never taken a penalty before drifting over the goal. Coach Jürgen Klopp is being called upon to rebuild the team's mental foundations, boost confidence, and develop leadership on the pitch, in order to restore the team's character and reconnect the fans with their national team.
