DOHA: “I’m afraid of falling into a hole.” Joshua Kimmich would only be humanizing his condition the morning after Germany couldn’t stop itself from hurtling down the rabbit-path.
“The worst day of my career,” he would continue. The most trying and consistent performer for Germany during their short stay in Qatar here, Kimmich would carry on in the fashion of the shell-shocked, telling anyone who cared to listen. “I joined the national team in 2016 and since then, we have lost twice in groups. I have not been able to help my team. I have failed.”
