not at all.

Toni Soderholm’s first World Cup match as captain of the German national team has become more difficult than many thought. Great Britain, which is participating in the World Cup for the first time in 25 years, has withstood the German onslaught for nearly two spans.

Draisaitl was careless and equal Britain

But Britain returned, after neglecting the great German star Leon Drysitl. Draisaitl hit an Indian pass from behind his own net and Mike Hammond got a free kick and scored the equalizer.

Everything was opened again but in the middle of the period Germany decided. Yassin Ahliz scored the goal Al Tahrir 2-1 in the same second as the British managed to kill an expulsion.
