sry but i cant hear that anymore.
No other team in the wc history stood so many times in the final (7 times) and won so less (just 3 times). So talking about Germany "having a mentaly of winning" is just wrong. And i didnt even mention the three 3rd places yet.
Also in ECs it looks depressing (6 finals and just 3 titles).
So overall it just shows that germany has a high rating of choking..
The actual german nationteam has good players (Lahm, Özil, Schweinsteiger, Neuer) and many youngsters too, but somehow i am not very confident for this torunament. guess they will be kicked out pretty soon (quarter or 1/8)
Bart, are you sure your even German, and from the same planet?!!!
Of course Germany has a winning mentality, how else would you even get to 6 finals and win 3 world cups, 6 EC finals and win half of those as well. Cup cempetitions involve a lot of luck, its not possible to win every final even if your the best team as the ref could do sth stupid or the linesman misses a clear goal etc etc
How many other teams have a better record than DE in major tournaments? < I dont actually know the answer to that but im betting its not many.
If England could perform as consistently, when it really matters, I would be absolutely delighted. Seriously you should be proud of your team for they way they play for your country.
You have good players, like those you mentioned, but they are not players who are going to destroy teams on their own ala Messi, ronaldo, kaka (maybe not after this season), torres, villa, etc etc. Imo Germany player for player is not that amazing, together as a team they are always very good.
