We didn\u2019t play well against any of our opponents. We struggled badly in all three matches against teams that aren\u2019t world-class. That\u2019s a fact. We deserved to be eliminated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">After beating Cura\u00e7ao in the first match 7-1, a lot of fans and pundits thought that Germany could be back to their old ways and may have put the last two World Cups behind them. But, as Kimmich points out, Germany\u2019s performance went downhill from there. They struggled to create against Ivory Coast, lost to Ecuador after scoring two minutes in, and now could not make it out of the Round of 32 against the 41st ranked Paraguay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Do you agree with Kimmich?
