In the European Championship final, two teams play for one of the most important titles in football.
Toni Kroos didn't look at it - he had simply forgotten it.
Madrid - England vs. Italy: The final of this year's European Championship probably left no football fan on this continent indifferent.
After an exciting game, Italy only won the long-awaited title on penalties.
While the defeat on the island caused chaos of frustration, anger, racism and appreciation for the achievements of the Three Lions, the Italians celebrated their team's European Championship victory.
The German national team had already been eliminated in the round of 16 against England, a disappointing end for the Löw era.
For Toni Kroos the tournament was over - in every respect.
The EM final is running - and Toni Kroos doesn't even know
In his podcast “just lop it”, which he runs with his brother Felix Kroos, the Real Madrid soccer star talks about his vacation in Greece. He was playing with his son when it suddenly got very loud in the background, screams came from a restaurant. Kroos was surprised to wonder what happened, writes
watson.de
. Then he was surprised to find the source of the screaming - it was the jubilation over the early goal of the English (2nd minute, Luke Shaw).
"If I no longer had it on my screen that football was still being played," Kroos comments on the bizarre situation in his podcast.
A pattern that, according to
watson.de, runs
through Kroos' spectator
life
: If his own or the favored team is eliminated from a tournament, Kroos loses all interest in the competition, he already had this through the elimination from the Champions League and the elimination of Roger Federer said at tournaments (Kroos is a big fan of the Swiss tennis legend).
Toni Kroos: No more national team, focus on Real Madrid
How will Kroos handle that at the next continental tournaments? After all, he will no longer have to live with an early retirement as a player - after the European Championship, the midfield director announced his resignation from the DFB team. One can assume, however, that Kroos will continue to accompany Germany as a fan - and then no longer watch any matches in the tournaments if “The Team” is involuntarily sent home. (fh)
