Mario Basler doubts that the German national team will win the European Championship despite winning their group.
Although the German national team performed convincingly in the group phase, including winning the group, SPORT1 expert Mario Basler doubts that they will win the European Championship title.

In the RTL EM studio, Basler expressed little optimism about a possible German victory at the European Championships. When asked by presenter Elton whether he had changed his mind about a German victory at the European Championships, he replied: “No, I’m sticking to that. It will be very difficult.”
“We had big problems” against Switzerland
Above all, the fact that the Germans had a hard time against the Swiss and only managed to equalize with a goal from Niclas Füllkrug in injury time makes Basler doubt whether they will be a great success.
“We said before the European Championship that if Germany won two games, we would be European champions. I always said that I would be happy with the quarter-finals. We have to be honest, Scotland were opponents like those from the second division, Hungary weren’t a real opponent either, and with Switzerland we had a real opponent and we had big problems there.”

He continued: “It will be just as difficult against Denmark at the weekend as it was against Switzerland. And then against Spain in the quarter-finals, a lot would have to happen by then at the latest for us to have a chance of advancing against Spain.”
The DFB team will play against Denmark in Dortmund on Saturday at 9 p.m. (LIVETICKER). Possible quarter-final opponents Spain will face Georgia 24 hours later (LIVETICKER).
