Sadly. To be fair, Germany played extremely badly and didn't deserve to win anyways.

It's a pretty good idea, no? Doesn't it sound good, as well? I think more needs to be made of that.

Once Germany was eliminated, they were no longer world champion. Watching Germany play showed how far they have fallen since the days of Franz beckenbaur.
