Germany endured one of their worst World Cup performances in Qatar. Typically a powerhouse in the sport, the Germans faced elimination from the competition in the group stage. The team was essentially behind the eight-ball immediately in the tournament after losing their opening match to Japan. Germany eventually finished third in Group E, narrowly behind Spain on goal difference.

The Germans drastically underperformed on the pitch. Off the pitch, the squad faced ridicule from back home for different reasons. Ahead of the matchup with Japan, Germany’s starting lineup posed for a team photo while covering their mouths. The incident was a direct shot at FIFA for not allowing team captains to wear OneLove armbands.

Many fans and pundits back in Germany did not approve of the move. However, former German FA director Oliver Bierhoff explained the team was figuratively on an island regarding the topic.

Bierhoff claims that the England and Netherlands teams backed out of similar protests at the last minute. Germany head coach Hansi Flick and star midfielder Joshua Kimmich also discussed the incident during the upcoming docuseries as well.

Series promises drama

Along with the highly publicized controversy and their issues on the pitch, the latest All or Nothing show also highlights problems within the squad. Players showed up late for meetings during the World Cup and even clashed during training sessions. The latest series could very well be the most explosive installment in the show’s history.
