What's missing from the coverage is a detailed analysis of the potential impact of Tuchel's squad decisions on team performance and strategy. None of the outlets provided insights into how the absence of certain players might affect Germany's chances in the tournament, which could be a blind spot for both center and left-leaning sources.
