Germany | Road to the World Cup 2022

In the World Cup, the German team is one of the most successful teams in the world. They won the third place in the first World Cup in 1934, and won four World Cups in 1954, 1974, 1990/2014. 4 times runner-up. In the 22 tournaments in the history of the World Cup, except for not participating in 1930 and being refused participation in 1950, the German team participated in the finals in the remaining 20 tournaments, with a historical record of 109 games, 67 wins, 20 draws and 22 losses.

Germany is the best team in the European preliminaries of this World Cup: 9 wins and 1 loss in 10 games, 36 goals and 4 goals lost, the only defeat is against North Macedonia - which happened to Italy later It has also been proved that this North Macedonian team is no longer the underdog of the past, and it is also a second-rate player in Europe. However, this round of competition also exposed a major problem with the German team, that is, there is no stable scoring point: Gnabry, Werner, and Gundogan are tied for the most, but there are only 5, and they used to be rich in world-class centers. The German team is now facing the problem of inability to strike.

Four years ago, the defending champion Germany failed to escape the curse. They were unexpectedly eliminated in the group stage, leaving a series of embarrassing records. It also made a group of players in their prime miss the opportunity to make history at the peak of their careers.

Four years later, the problem of the German team seems to be more serious than in the past. In the discussion among many fans about the favorite to win the championship, the German team, which is now ranked 11th in the world, is difficult to even mention. What is even more disappointing for German fans is that Germany used to be. The team's tough fighting style and efficient side-center attack are becoming more and more difficult to see. This year's Qatar, can they sweep away the haze four years ago?
