🚨 Lothar Matthäus on Germany crashing out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeat to Paraguay:
🗣️ “I am absolutely furious. This is not the Germany I know, and it’s certainly not the Germany I fought for. To be eliminated from the World Cup like this is unacceptable. Every player, every coach and every person involved with this team has to look in the mirror after tonight because this performance was nowhere near the standards expected of Germany.”
“You cannot wear the Germany shirt and play with so little urgency, so little aggression and so little belief. Paraguay fought for every ball like their lives depended on it, while Germany looked nervous, passive and completely out of ideas when the pressure arrived. We had enough quality to win this match, but football isn’t won by talent alone. It’s won by character, mentality and the willingness to suffer for your country.”
“I don’t want to hear excuses about bad luck, referees or penalties. Champions don’t hide behind excuses—they take responsibility. This defeat should hurt for a very long time because it was completely avoidable. Germany have let an entire nation down tonight. Credit to Paraguay, they deserved every second of this victory because they showed courage, discipline and heart. Germany forgot what it truly means to fight for this badge, and for me, that is the most painful part of all.”

@VictorDayan1 En las guías de revascularización de la AHA del año 200, en resumen decían: que las cirugía en mujeres era más difícil y con mayor cantidad de complicaciones, pero no se debía negarles el procedimiento.
