📈 As good as in 1980! This Germany stat boosts World Cup hope | OneFootball

Just a few days before the start of the World Cup, you still have to look very hard to find football euphoria in Germany. That is, of course, largely due to political and atmospheric reasons.

But at first glance, the current state of the German national team is not exactly inspiring dreams either. The DFB team has most recently been knocked out in the World Cup group stage twice in a row. In addition, after the fairly successful home Euros in 2024, the next step in development has not yet been taken.

However, just in time for the start of the tournament, Julian Nagelsmann’s team has played its way into really impressive form. More than that: the current winning streak of nine games in a row is the best run since 1980! Even during the successful Löw years, the four-time world champions never managed such a feat.

After the embarrassing defeat against Slovakia at the start of World Cup qualifying, it was followed by five straight competitive wins, before the friendlies against Switzerland, Ghana, Finland, and the USA were also won.

Of course, the DFB eleven did not have to overcome all the biggest heavyweights during this period. But the fact that you can also slip up against the supposed minnows of world football was shown in recent days by France, Spain, and the Netherlands, among others.
