Germany are currently joint second for the record of most World Cup wins with Italy on 4 titles, only one behind leaders Brazil. Germany are also the current World Cup Holders.
Germany competes in the World Cup and European Championships and, as we mentioned, are the current World Champions. Since the German national team was founded in 1900 it has had an interesting history with the split between the East German and West German (Saarland from 1950-56). It was not until the reunification of Germany in 1990 that the two teams merged, bringing their individual achievements together.
Germany have qualified for 18 World Cups and their four wins came in 1954, 1974, 1990 and most recently in the last tournament held in Brazil in 2014. Germany started their campaign with a strong 4-0 win over Portugal before dropping points in a 2-2 draw with Ghana. They got back in to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over the U.S.A before defeating Algeria and France to set up a semi final against hosts Brazil.
With the home advantage and a proven pedigree in international football, Brazil were expected to perform but Germany shocked the world of football with a resounding 7-1 victory setting up the 2014 World Cup Final against Argentina.
Germany ran out 1-0 winners thanks to an extra time goal from Mario Gotze in front of a crowd of 74,738 in the Estadio do Maracana in Rio.
Germany have also qualified for the last 12 consecutive European Championships, winning the trophy three times in the process in the years 1972, 1980 and in England in 1996 with a ‘Golden Goal’ from Oliver Bierhoff.
