– They have completely collapsed, says news’s ​​expert commentator Nils Johan Semb. Because after Germany had been in full control for a long time, it was Japan who turned the game around with two scores in the last quarter and thus won the game. Germany have thus had a very bad start in the World Cup, where they are in a group with Spain and Costa Rica. – This must probably be Japan’s biggest international triumph, when they beat four-time world champions Germany in an opening match, says Semb. THE CLOSURE: Kai Havertz (number seven) and the other German players were disappointed to see that they lost against Japan.

In 2018, as reigning champions of the World Cup, they were knocked out in the group stage, after losing to Mexico and South Korea. In the European Championship last year, they just managed to progress from the group stage, but then lost in the round of 16 against England. On Wednesday, there was a lot of focus on what would happen before the start of the match, and during the team photo the German players chose to hold their hands over their mouths in protest against Fifa’s threats of sporting consequences for using rainbow colored captain’s armbands. PROTEST: This is how Germany marked before the start. Photo: ANNE-CHRISTINE POUJOULAT / AFP Ilkay Gündogan sent Germany into the lead from the penalty spot after just over half an hour. Kai Havertz also got the ball into the goal in overtime in the first half, but the goal was correctly canceled for offside. Germany had a number of great chances to increase their lead in the second half, but with a quarter of an hour remaining it was Ritsu Doan who equalized for Japan and a few minutes later substitute Takuma Asano sent Japan into the lead. That lead lasted the whole match, and thus it was Japan who ran away with the victory.
