Schweinsteiger commented on the match between Germany and Ecuador

 Bastyan Schweinsteiger, former midfielder of the German national team, world champion in 2014, shared his opinion on the match between the German national team and Ecuador (2:1) in the 3rd round of the 2026 World Cup group. During the match, Germany was leading the match. "Congratulations to Ecuador. They consistently presented their style of play. Today, from the German national team, I lacked clarity and dominance in possession of the ball. With such a compact opponent, we needed greater depth in the squad, better corridors for running, and in such narrow pitches - also courage in long plays," wrote Schweinsteiger on his account on the X social networking site.
