The journey of Germany in the qualifying group was a bit of rollercoaster, although this team managed to top the charts in its group followed by Poland who was just 1 point behind the Germany. Germany has 7 wins, 2 defeats, and a single draw under his belt in the qualifying stage.
In the friendlies games , Germany lost against France, England, and Slovakia but managed to win against the likes of Italy and Hungary. This proves the inconsistency in the performance of Germany in recent times and this is one of the major concern for this three timed Euro Cup crowned team.
