Toni Kroos has gone viral on social networks with a funny tweet where he laughs at being blamed for the bad performance of Germany in the World Cup in Qatar where he did not play. The Real Madrid midfielder retired from the German team after the end of the last Euro Cup in July 2021.

Germany's World Cup was a complete failure. They were eliminated in the group stage after losing to Japan, drawing with Spain, and defeating Costa Rica. A resounding failure that caused journalist Cristina Cubero to consider a member of the German team when ranking the worst players in the tournament. To the surprise of her colleagues, she mentioned Kroos after mentioning Vinicius as another tournament disappointment.

"I knew someone was going to blame me," tweeted Toni Kroos accompanied by a laughing emoticon. The Real Madrid midfielder joked that he was described as one of the disappointments of the World Cup when he did not participate in it, since he has been retired from the national team since last July 2021, after the end of the Euro Cup 2020.
