Btw Franz is looking like NBA elimination game Franz right now. He scored 6 points in that game 7 on 1 of 15 shooting. That doesn't bode well for Germany.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

What’s the implication?

Because he was epically horrendous vs USA in that exhibition in the 4th. It was brutal.

Elimination game Franz back at it. People forgot he went 1 for 15 in a game 7, yet were expecting him to carry Germany today.
