Germany and France are set to face off in an international friendly match with their sights set on the upcoming Euro 2024. The match is scheduled to kick off at 3:00 pm ET (1:00 pm PT; 8:00 pm BST; 9:00 pm CEST) and will showcase top soccer stars like Thomas Müller and Kylian Mbappé. If you're wondering where to watch the game in California, Florida, Washington, New York, or Texas, we've got you covered.
The German national team, also known as 'Die Mannschaft,' is currently going through one of the worst periods in its football history. With only four wins in their last 17 games, the team's poor performance led to the dismissal of coach Hansi Flick by the German Football Federation (DFB). In the match against France, Rudi Völler, Sandro Wagner, and Hannes Wolf will take charge, while Thomas Müller and Julian Brandt will be among the starting players.
On the other hand, France is determined to reclaim their position as the reigning champions of Europe. Coach Didier Deschamps has confirmed the presence of top players like Mbappé, Dembélé, and Kolo Muani for the match against Germany. 'Les Bleus' recently secured a 2-0 victory over Ireland at the Parc des Princes in Paris, with goals from Aurélien Tchouaméni and Marcos Thuram. They currently hold the top spot in Group B with 15 points, ahead of the Netherlands (9) and Greece (9) in the Euro Cup qualification.
There have been discussions about the possibility of Völler assuming the coaching position at least until after the Euro Cup. Despite not having a coaching license, Völler previously served as a coach from 2000 to 2004 and led Germany to the 2002 World Cup final. The outcome of Tuesday's game will play a significant role in determining the viability of this option. A positive result against a strong team like France could amplify the voices in favor of Völler.
The current situation of the German team presents a complex diagnosis. Many players tend to underperform at the national team level compared to their performances with their respective clubs. In the match against Japan, six players in the starting lineup had previously won the Champions League. The only exception was Florian Wirtz, who will be playing in the Europa League with Bayer Leverkusen. Even coach Flick, who knows the taste of Champions League victory as a coach, couldn't reverse the team's fortunes.
This suggests that the issue lies elsewhere, possibly in the lack of cohesion within the team or a breakdown in communication between the coach and the players. Some believe that the problem stems from the later stages of Joachim Löw's era. In 2017, when Germany won the Confederations Cup with a B team, everything seemed to be in order. However, the team faced a devastating setback in Russia a year later, and they have struggled to recover ever since. The decisions made by Löw and Flick further exacerbated the problem by disrupting the team's hierarchy without successfully establishing new dynamics.
In an attempt to address the situation, Flick named Ilkay Gündogan as captain, replacing Joshua Kimmich. Furthermore, Kimmich was played out of position at right back instead of his preferred midfield role in the match against Japan. The exact approach that the triumvirate of Völler, Wagner, and Wolf will take to reverse the team's fortunes remains uncertain. However, it is expected that Gündogan will retain the captaincy, and Kimmich will likely partner with him in midfield. Thomas Müller, known for his leadership and communication skills, is expected to guide the team on the field.
One advantage the triumvirate has is that they have little to lose against France after the disappointing performance against Japan. The players, after the setback, are likely to be motivated to redeem themselves and put on a strong performance.
