The story in brief
26-second read(Photo by Karl-Josef Hildenbrand/picture alliance via Getty Images) | Getty Images Joshua Kimmich is yet again under fire for Germany.
Bayern Munich’s star midfielder was heavily criticized for his performances as Germany crashed out of the 2026 World Cup in the Round of 32, making it a grand total of 3 consecutive World Cups without a single knockout round victory with Kimmich as a regular starter.
Is it fair to pin most of the blame on Kimmich? Germany has debated that for around half a decade now, and seems no closer to a general consensus.
