finds itself

I think it's like the French se trouver, which can often be translated simply as is or finds itself.

Suddenly the once top brand in Germany again finds itself knocked down to fourth place.

drop the again; I\'m very tired....

agree Elisabeth Ghysels : didn't see your answer, when I wrote my note
2 mins
same goes for me
neutral Evi Wollinger : I agree with finds itself, but there should not be an 'again' in this sentence. 'Wieder' relates only to finding itself.

agree about the again. that's why I added a note to drop the again.
