World Cup 2022: Germany meets feared opponents Spain - last victory 34 years ago

The Iberians were already in a goal mood at their World Cup opener, and six different players scored a goal in the 7-0 thrashing.

The 2010 World Champion is also considered a feared opponent of the German team, it's been 34 years since the Germans last won a competitive game.

At the 1988 European Championship there was a 2-0 draw in the group phase, Rudi Völler was responsible for both goals.

Especially the last meeting two years ago in Seville was a bitter memory for the German players and fans.

The DFB team coached by Jogi Löw lost 6-0 to “Furia Roja” in the Nations League.

The last World Cup duel was in 2010, in South Africa the eventual world champions Spain won 1-0 in the semi-finals.

World Cup 2022: Even if they lose to Spain, the DFB team has a chance of reaching the round of 16

In view of this starting position, the German team can be happy that it cannot be eliminated today despite the defeat against Japan.

Because even if they lose to Spain, Hansi Flick's team still has a chance of reaching the round of 16.

In that case, however, a win against Costa Rica would be a must in the third group game, while at the same time one would have to hope for a win for the Spaniards against Japan.

In addition, the goal difference between Japan and Germany would also be decisive, but currently the German goal difference is worse than that of the "Blue Samurai".

Before the unexpected bankruptcy of the Japanese against Costa Rica, a game of destiny was assumed, if the Asians had scored at least one point, the Germany team would have failed prematurely in the group stage if they lost to Spain.
