Fourth Elimination Loss: Predecessor renowned by Nagelsmann

Germany's World Cup Journey: A Rollercoaster Ride

Germany's journey in the recent World Cup tournament in Qatar ended in disappointment as they were eliminated in the group stage. However, this outcome was not a direct result of the qualifying rounds, where the team had shown promise under various coaches.

In the qualifying rounds for Qatar 2022, Joachim Löw started with two victories. Unfortunately, under current coach Julian Nagelsmann, Germany suffered a 0-2 defeat in Slovakia, a setback that was followed by more challenges.

Before his resignation as national team coach, Löw experienced a defeat. This defeat occurred in a World Cup qualifying match against North Macedonia in Duisburg on March 31, 2021. Despite the loss, Germany secured a ticket for the final round.

It's worth noting that this was not the first time Germany lost a World Cup qualifying match at home. In a World Cup qualifying match on October 16, 1985, Germany, under Franz Beckenbauer, suffered a 0-1 defeat against Portugal.

The defeat in Duisburg was not a part of the four defeats Germany has suffered in 105 World Cup qualifying games. In total, Germany has only suffered four defeats in this crucial phase of World Cup preparation.

Looking back, one of Germany's most memorable World Cup experiences was in Mexico in 1986. In the final, Diego Maradona prevented Germany from winning the World Cup. However, Germany reached the final against Argentina, a testament to their resilience.

In a somewhat similar vein, Löw's successor, Hansi Flick, qualified for the World Cup tournament after the defeat in Duisburg. This shows that even in the face of setbacks, the German team has the ability to bounce back and continue their quest for football glory.

In a World Cup qualifying match on September 1, 2001, Germany lost 1-5 against England in Munich. Rudi Völler led the German national football team as head coach during this match. Despite the defeat, Germany eventually qualified for the 2002 World Cup where they reached the final.

The most recent defeat for Germany in a World Cup qualifying match was in Stuttgart. Carlos Manuel scored the winning goal for Portugal, beating Toni Schumacher in the German goal. This defeat marked the end of Germany's journey in the qualifying rounds, but the team will undoubtedly look to learn from this experience and come back stronger in the future.
