▍原文

This is the second World Cup in succession that Germany have failed to get out of their group, suffering the same fate in Russia in 2018.

Given that record, Germany now find themselves dangerously close to slipping into football's 'B List’. 

Incredibly, Germany and Spain were heading towards the exit.

▍复述文本

You've probably heard about what happened to Germany's football team. I almost couldn't believe my ears.

This is the second World Cup that Germany doesn't get out of their group in a row, suffering the same fate in Russia in 2018. 

You didn't see that one coming. But given that record, Germany now finds themselves dangerously close to slipping into football's 'B List'. It's sad, but what can you do?
