•
Bayern Munich is prepping for the Club World Cup, while also exploring what moves it can make to bolster its roster. The German national team is licking its wounds and looking to regroup in time for Sunday’s third-place match.
This is what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Germany’s loss to Portugal showed that the squad is not yet ready for prime time...but does that mean it cannot get there in time for the 2026 World Cup? Nope, so let us tell you why.
- Jonathan Tah’s performance vs. Portugal did not exactly change anyone’s mind, who thinks he is...just a guy.
- Joshua Kimmich led by example with his heart, fight, and hustle, but did he fail at helping prevent the team from unraveling?
- Can Julian Nagelsmann stop himself from over-tinkering?
- Bayern Munich will soon begin its preparation for the Club World Cup. What storylines should we be watching for?
- Have we reached the point where the professional football schedule for club and international play has just become too much?
