And it led to Klopp turning up to the next to the first Germany game wearing a Germany shirt.
And at the end of the game against Curacao, he apologised to Julian Nagelsmann on camera.
And he looked so nervous.
It was so weird seeing Jurgen Klopp grovel.
It's just not an emotion that you would expect to see from it.
Now, obviously, the reason why this is so controversial is because it's expected that Jürgen Klopp would quite like the Germany job.
And Thomas Müller made the comment after he said it was like, oh, well, we're not in September yet, Jürgen.
So Julian Nagelsmann has gritted his teeth through this.
You can tell that he absolutely hates it.
And yet the criticism from Klopp after the game today was that, you know, players are in too many positions.
He didn't say this directly to Nagelsmann, it should be said.
But I think that it was pretty good analysis in that the Germany team under Julian Nagelsmann, it feels like...
The coach is the one trying to shine rather than letting the players do their jobs.
But also, I just don't know about the right mix of attacking players right now.
There's something wrong with the balance there.
They did get over the line against Ivory Coast, but they were quite fortunate.
It could have gone the other way if Simon Odinga takes that chance.
So, look, obviously missing Nico Schlotterbeck for the rest of the tournament as well.
That's a huge injury blow.
So, yeah, I wouldn't be confident of Germany getting past France should they make it that far.
