If people aren't fired for not performing, then you will never be able to establish the right culture.

How is this even possible?

Interesting comparisons:

Coach of the german women's volleyball team when they qualified for the women's nations league final for the first time: Vital Heynen

Coach of the german men's volleyball team when they last were relevant at world stage (Bronze at 2014 worlds, only ever medal for Germany): Vital Heynen

Coach of the german men's handball team when they last won a medal at world stage (Bronze at the 2016 olympics): Dagur Sigurdsson

Coach of the women's basketball team when they reached their best result in 25 years (6th at this year's european championships): Lisa Thomaidis

Just getting into the final four alongside France, Netherlands and Spain is okay to me.

Don't see how, would probably need a fluke like in 2022. They have absolutely no concept (coach's fault) and they don't have the right mentality/aren't "independent" (problem of the system/youth academies). They (it is the same with the men) always look like "passengers", they just let it happen and are completely unable to adapt/snap out of it. No accountability.

With the group stage over here's how each continent performed.

 

Federation	Win	Draw	Loss	Points	Percent
AFC	7	1	10	22	40.74%
CAF	5	3	4	18	50.00%
CONCACAF	3	5	10	14	25.93%
CONMEBOL	3	2	4	11	40.74%
OFC	1	1	1	4	44.44%
UEFA	19	8	9	65	60.19%

 

Unsurprisingly, Europe is the best performing continent with 8/12 nations advancing to the round of 16. More surprising is Africa being the second best continent where the teams obtained 50% of the total possible points and 3/4 nations advance to the round of 16. CONCACAF was the worst performing continent by quite a bit though in their defense, they did qualify two extra teams via the play-offs. However, even removing Haiti and Panama they would still finish last, but with a more comparable 38.89%

Germany and France do have the two relatively easy groups though. If they both win, Germany are in.

 

However.. if you can't beat Korea or Colombia, even Iceland may well just be a problem too..

UEFA teams got more than 60% of the total possible amount of points, it's not like UEFA teams could have gotten 12 (teams) x 3 (matches) x 3 (points) = 108 points in total with matches like Sweden - Italy or Netherlands - Portugal

 

Not a big deal of course and still a nice comparison, just thought it'd be worth a mention.
