Germany has rights to condemn 2018 as the worst year in national football team’s history as their losing streak sees no end. 2014 World Cup champions slumped to yet another defeat of the fine Monday evening in the Nations League group stage game against 2018 World champions France. Although Germany took the early lead in the game as Tony Kroos finally scored a penalty kick – a goal the whole country been waiting for so long – but it wasn’t enough. France fully recovered after the break with their star man Antoine Griezmann. Atletico forward equalized with a brilliantly headed finish at the 61-minute mark and 15 minutes later secured the comeback win for Le Bleus after beating Manuel Neuer from the penalty spot. France wins – 2:1.

  • In 2018 Germany lost 6 of their 9 games and re-written their all-time anti-record
  • Griezmann equalled Sylvain Wiltord’s record – both scored 26 goals for the France national team
