The German national team hit the road to face Slovakia, looking to get off on the right foot for this round of World Cup qualifier action. That did not happen. Julian Nagelsmann — as he is prone to do — did some experimenting with his lineup and it did not work as the team dropped a 2-0 decision. The players were bad, the coaching was not great, and it was not a banner effort overall. There is plenty to discuss from this match, so let’s get to it. This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show:A look at the starting XI. A rundown of the scoring and substitutions. Some final thoughts and takeaways on the match. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
