Ok now I got you. I do indeed agree with what you said and there is also a difference when you compare a weak performance by France in the Nations League to that of Germany. Regarding France, we all know that they can step up their gamer within a blink of an eye due to players like Mbappe.
When I watch Germany play their games these days, it doesn't only look as if they are performing bad but could gear up their game, it really looks as if there is nothing they can do to raise pressure during the game. Sometimes they have some lucky door opener and then they keep the ball and kind of "dominate" the game, but it's not really convincing. In my opinion they will have more trouble during the upcoming tournament than all the other top teams mentioned here.

France won't be able to win matches as long as there is no team cohesion between their players. It came out in the open during Euro 2021, and looks as if the controversy hasn't died down yet. And even now, it is not known whether Pogba will be able to participate in the world cup or not. At least compared to France, Germany seems to be in good shape. But then, their performance was pathetic during the UEFA nations league. They failed to finish in the top 2 in their group, and lost a match to Hungary.
