Lineker: This is one of the weakest German teams I've ever seen

As Germany prepares to face Paraguay in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, and France does the same before their game against Sweden, many media outlets are discussing a possible meeting between the two teams in the next round of the competition. One of the comments assessing the chances of the "Bundestim" in a potential duel was left by former English football player Gary Lineker. "I think this is one of the weakest German teams I've ever seen. France should have no problem reaching the quarter-finals. Germany lives in its past. Just remember that they didn't even get out of the group stage at the last two World Cups. So, I think you can all sleep peacefully," said the English expert. The match between Germany and Paraguay will take place on June 29 at 11:30 p.m.
