Sat, June 13, 2026 at 11:39 a.m. UTCWhen would the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada be considered a success for the German national team?
What are the chances, how far can and/or should coach Nagelsmann’s side go in the tournament so that afterward people can look back and say: “Yeah, they did well”?
‘Sky Sport’ now claims to have learned that the internal target in this regard is the quarter-finals. According to the report, the federation would consider it a success if the DFB team reached the last eight. Compared with the last two World Cups, that would of course be a big step forward. And who brought this internal target to light?
More or less Chancellor Friedrich Merz. After the chancellor called and asked about the target, “we told him that we want to still be in the tournament when the parliamentary summer recess begins,” DFB managing director for sport Andreas Retting explained to ‘Sky Sport’. DFB president Bernd Neuendorf had not really let himself be drawn into stating a clear expectation.
He said he always aims to go far, even if that has not worked out recently, and: “What matters is that we get through the group stage with good results. ”Now it’s your turn: How far will the German team go? And from what point on would you call it a successful tournament? Write it in the comments!
