Germany placed second 2008, third 2010 and was in the semis 2012 losing to basically Pirlo alone because Löw fcked up the starting eleven

Tbf the whole core of the team of 2014 was gone by 2018.

Gomez in 2012 was crazy undervalued. The guy also had 32 scorers (24 goals/8 assists) in 32 games with Stuttgart in 10/11. He gets forgotten easily since h was injured when the national team won the World Cup but he was a class striker.

Klose and Mandzukic dont have a single Bayern season with 20+ goals and Toni has a single 20+ season with 24 goals in 07/08

They arent comparable to Lewandowski and Kane at all
