5 reasons why Germany are struggling in International Football in 2018

#1 Confidence Issues

Domestic Struggles for many players may be proving hard to beat

The World Cup has undoubtedly left the squad short on confidence.

The confidence issues could also stem from the spine of the team which plays for Bayern München in the Bundesliga.

Manuel Neuer hasn't had his best season, while Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Müller, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Niklas Süle all play for an underperforming Bayern side and it might be surprising to see that reflecting on their National team performance as well.

Hector is playing in the 2. Bundesliga with Köln and Thilo Kehrer's Schalke have struggled to get going as well. Clearly, the core of the team has been suffering so far and it is no surprise to see them bleed on the International stage as well.

It may all change for Germany soon but for now, they have to face up to their worst year in International football for decades.
