🏆👉 Germany won the FIFA World Cup Group E against Costa Rica on Thursday 1 December 2022 at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar. Germany are out in part because Japan defeated Spain. This means that the four goals scored by the Germans against Costa Rica were not enough to reach the knockout phase of this World Cup, due to a worse goal difference with the Spanish (both teams finished group E with 4 points in the standings ). Incredible, Germany dropped out of the World Cup for the second consecutive time in the group stage. There are many things for which Flick and his boys will have to make amends, starting right from the management of the match, lost, against Japan in the first round of Qatar 2022.
This is the second-ever meeting between Germany and Costa Rica, with the Germans winning 4-2 in the opening match of the 2006 World Cup. Ironically, the same result is today. Germany have won six of their eight World Cup matches against CONCACAF nations (D1 L1), though their only defeat came in their last match against Mexico in 2018.
In sum, Japan (6 points) and Spain (4) qualify for group E. The Japanese will face Croatia in the Round of 16, while Spain will face Morocco.
