After defeating Brazil 7-1, Germany is winless in 3 consecutive World Cup matches
After defeating Brazil 7-1 a win against Spain tomorrow would have put Germany in a slightly more advantageous position. Qatar did not get knocked out of the World Cup group stage due to the draw, Hansi Flick’s team still has hope. The decision will be in the last match. However, seeing this Germany in the flick feels a little awkward. The name of the team is Germany, the four-time world champion. But the game does not have that previous edge. Germany is rarely seen without that ‘killing mentality’ and not giving up until the end. If you want, you can look back a little and see the time, since Germany is no longer what it used to be. If you want, some people can think of the ‘curse’ of the Brazilians!
Do you remember the nightmare of Brazil supporters in Belo Horizonte at the 2014 World Cup? The 7-1 loss to Germany in the semi-finals will forever be synonymous with Brazilian football history. Who knows if any Brazil fans cursed Germany after that loss! However, Germany’s performance in the World Cup after winning that World Cup final may seem like a curse.
Thomas Müller scored the first goal in a 7–1 win over Brazil eight years ago
In the World Cup 8 years ago in Brazil, Germany defeated the hosts in the semi-finals and beat Argentina 1-0 in the final. But then? In the last World Cup, they left the group stage.
Germany crashed out of the group stage after a 1-0 loss to Mexico in the first match in Moscow followed by a 2-1 win over Sweden and a 2-0 loss to South Korea in the last match. It was Germany’s first exit from the group stage since the 1938 World Cup.
Then this time coming to the World Cup in Qatar, Germany was once again worried about passing the group stage after losing 2-1 to Japan in their first match.
Flick’s team kept their hopes of reaching the second round alive with a 1-1 draw with Spain last night. Costa Rica is Germany’s opponent in the last match from Group E. Japan will face Spain in another match in this group. If Germany beat Costa Rica and Spain beat Japan, the two former world champions will advance to the last sixteen. That is, Germany must not only win but also pray for Japan to lose to Spain.
Argentina – Germany at one point

The equation is quite difficult. That was made difficult by Germany losing their first match. The Brazilian fans can therefore call this condition of the Germans a ‘curse’.
