Kolkata, November 22: Germany will be looking regain their lost glory at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Since winning at Brazil 2014, things have gone downhill for Die Mannschaft.

They were knocked out at Russia 2018 from the group stage itself after losing 0-2 to South Korea. It was the first time ever they could not make the knockout stages.

Hansi Flick, who was the assistant manager of Germany at the time of the last FIFA World Cup and will be keen on a much better showing this time around. They will kick off their World Cup campaign against Asian giants Japan on Wednesday (November 23) at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Japan also went out of the last World Cup by the narrowest of margins having collected more yellow cards than Senegal. Since then, Japan have done extremely well under Hajime Moriyasu.
