Kroos does not see his national team as a favorite.
Germany’s national team has had a shaky start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, and former star Toni Kroos has spoken about their chances.
Details: On the podcast Einfach mal Luppen, Kroos noted that the current squad lacks the depth of top talent.
Quote: “Right now we don’t have a pool of 50 world-class players. We’re short on players. But the squad itself doesn’t matter; looking at the matches they have, what we do have should be enough.
We must not forget that at the moment we are not among those who can have big ambitions. Others are simply better.
We are light-years away from talking about winning the World Cup,” said Toni Kroos.
Germany began their qualifiers with a 0–2 loss to Slovakia but bounced back with a 3–1 victory over Northern Ireland.
Reminder: Julian Nagelsmann recently addressed the criticism following the loss to Slovakia (0–2), which was Germany’s first-ever away defeat in World Cup qualifying.
