Germany, a fixed among the best

Last update 5 April, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

Soccer is a sport of 11 contra 11 that the Germans always win. This phrase from the English Gary Lineker comes to the hair to explain the history of the Germans in the World Cups. Three times champion(1954, 1974 y 1990) and four times runner-up (1966, 1982, 1986 y 2002), the germans, they are always fixed in the final rounds of the World Cups both, that there are already four consecutive semifinals played by the Germans.

From 2002, Germans are assiduous to reach the last rounds of both World Cups and Euro Cups. In the World Cup 2002, the German team fell in the final against Brazil of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho among others. In the World Cup 2006 disputed precisely on German lands, they also fell in the semifinals. In the Euro of 2008, they lost the final against the Spain of Tiki-Taka of Luis Aragonés while in the World Cup in South Africa of 2010 They also fell against Spain but this time in the semifinals against the team already led by Del Bosque.

Brazil 2014 will not be an exception and will once again have the German team as one of the four best in the world. Viewing your trajectory, You might think that football owes them something, especially in recent years, although the challenge will not be easy at all.. The rival to beat will be Brazil, host and top favorite to win the tournament. Will there be another Maracanazo like that of 1950 but this time on the part of the Germans or on the contrary the Germans will return to stay at the gates of success?. Soon we know.
