Two years later, Germany qualified for the 2010 FIBA World Cup as a wild card. They were eliminated from the competition following an overtime loss against Angola, and finished with a (2–3) record overall, beating only Serbia and Jordan. At the EuroBasket 2011, Germany qualified for the second round with wins over Israel, Italy and Latvia, but in the second round they only managed a win over Turkey, losing to Spain and Lithuania, and failed to reach the knockout stage. Nowitzki competed in both of these tournaments and announced his retirement from the team following the 2011 EuroBasket.
