Joshua Kimmich says he has no intention of being involved in any political debates surrounding the World Cup in the US: "Having no opinion isn't the solution. Each of us inevitably has a personal stance on certain topics, and I, too, have certain values I stand by. But at the same time, it's difficult to express this opinion in the role of a footballer or captain of the national team. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make you an expert. It's the responsibility of politicians or associations to take a position on such topics. Political situations, in particular, are often difficult to assess – even for people who deal with them professionally. The idea that we players can solve these problems or change anything about them is the wrong expectation" [@SIGermany]
