Key Statistics
Editorial Analysis & Historical Context
Rigorous Analysis: Germany is a rapidly deflating football tire that used to be a reliable, clinical, well-oiled machine. Once feared by everyone, they now struggle to escape the group stages, looking more like lost tourists than clinical world champions.
But hey, no matter how low they sink in the modern era, no one can ever erase the sheer, unadulterated savagery of that 1-7 demolition of Brazil in 2014. They may be mediocre now, but that single night of absolute destruction will sustain their bragging rights until the end of time.
