AL RAYYAN, Qatar (Reuters) - Germany go into their second World Cup Group E game against Spain on Sunday knowing it is like a final, Germany coach Hansi Flick said on Saturday, with his team facing possible elimination if they are defeated again.

Asked whether the four-time world champions were still the mighty tournament team of the past as they face the prospect of a second early World Cup exit, he said the game on Sunday would determine their reputation.

But they inexplicably crumbled after the break and let Japan score twice late in the game to snatch the win and join Spain on three points. Flick will have to wait for the last training session to see if winger Leroy Sane, who was nursing an injury, will be fit to feature on Sunday.
