Joshua Kimmich says he has no intention of being involved in any political debates surrounding the World Cup in the US: "Having no opinion isn't the solution. Each of us inevitably has a personal stance on certain topics, and I, too, have certain values I stand by. But at the same time, it's difficult to express this opinion in the role of a footballer or captain of the national team. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make you an expert. It's the responsibility of politicians or associations to take a position on such topics. Political situations, in particular, are often difficult to assess – even for people who deal with them professionally. The idea that we players can solve these problems or change anything about them is the wrong expectation" [@SIGermany]
@iMiaSanMia Did PSG deserve to go through? Yeah a little more than us. But when game changing decisions aren’t called by the refs. I have a hard time thinking they were the better team by a long shot. If Bayern aren’t 110% they will get calls against them. That’s clear
@danbowle@ComicKodi Yeah maybe but sometimes English bias is too much 😂
We deserved the loss but for a win against us? I wasn’t too impressed. We beat ourselves. Typical Bayern.
Emotions are high due to the whole Israel/Iran situation, and understandably so, but I strongly advise others to avoid getting hung up on every report.
There are all sorts of entities with different interests trying to manipulate our emotions for different reasons.
In times like these, I find it’s best to stay fluid and adaptable. We have to consider that we as the public might not have all the pieces to the puzzle yet. Disinformation is rampant and things are never as they initially seem. Truth is always the first casualty of war.
Try to stay emotionally disconnected. Focus on observation and discernment. Focus on the things we can control. Remain fluid to change your position as new information becomes available, and don’t pigeonhole yourself.
But most importantly, don’t panic. It never solves anything.
The calm mind thinks more clearly and will lead you to a better result.
