Germany have been ELIMINATED from World Cup 2022. Despite the valiant 4-2 win against Costa Rica in the final round of group games, that wholly avoidable opening-day defeat to Japan was ultimately the result that cost Germany qualification.
The 1-1 draw with Spain following their shock 2-1 opening defeat to Japan had given Hansi Flick's men some hope of advancing but even victory against Costa Rica was not enough to prevent yet another tournament debacle, with the Germans condemned to their second straight World Cup first round exit.
Germany had been one of the most dominant forces in football for a period spanning 70 years, having won four World Cup titles since 1954. But those successes are now a distant memory, with the current German national team a shadow of their former powerful self. Hansi Flick’s men were overwhelmed and below par at this year’s tournament.
But what went wrong for Germany and why were they eliminated from the World Cup so easily? Let’s find out.
Germany 1-2 Japan
Spain 1-1 Germany
Germany 4-2 Costa Rica
