If this continues, we will have to rename the DFB.
Actually, that would have been appropriate a long time ago when it became apparent that none of the leading figures in the Otto-Fleck-Schneise were interested in football anymore.
Otherwise, could national coach Joachim Löw have remained in office after the disaster in Russia 2018, or even the fall in November 2020 against Spain?
Of course not.
But what should the traditional association of ego tacticians be called?
German flat nose pliers?
Not quite.
Perhaps more like the German Trappers Association.
That would reflect the favorite hobby of the previous management team, who this week worked from digging pits to the point of collective collapse.
And to apply to the new constellation: For a moment it seemed as if they were doing tabula rasa, all those involved cleared their places for fresh energy.
And then there is again a tactical pseudo-retreat by the clever permanent vice cook, the master of bottle cork technology: When the storm has calmed down, you notice that it is still floating above.
And the DFB becomes the German Frustration Association.
