For Germany, the 2022 World Cup was already over after the preliminary round. Although the DFB-Elf won the last group match 4-2 against Costa Rica, this was not enough for the knockout round because of Japan’s 2-1 victory over Spain at the same time.
In the first group game, Germany lost 2-1 to Japan despite a 1-0 lead. With Endo, Yoshida, Itakura, Tanaka and Kamada, five players started in the Japanese team that play in the Bundesliga. The DFB team still managed to draw 1-1 against Spain, but as mentioned, it wasn’t enough to make it into the round of 16.
