In the first round of the League of Nations, the British team unexpectedly lost to Hungary (0:1), followed by a draw with Germany (1:1), which eventually brought one point, with one goal scored.

After the failure at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the German national team has seriously improved and is now preparing for a trip to Qatar. The wards of Hans-Dieter Flick played well in the group stage of Euro 2020, but already the 1/8 finals brought a defeat from the England team (0:2). In the selection for the 2022 World Cup, the Bundesteam scored 27 points and 36 goals in ten rounds, which was enough to get a ticket to the World Cup. Starting in the new tournament of the League of Nations “national eleven” brought a draw with Italy (1:1), after which the team shared the tournament points with England (1:1).
