#thegermans - Mind Set

 That turned a short debate I did not check up on. The Germans are out of the World Cup.
There are two things now having to understand that Football success is important on a different level to the German Ego of especially the hiding nationalists.

Their first goal, was more luck than positioning and skill, which is part of every game and needs a lot of preparation. The second makes most none Germans wonder why a player would actively block the Goaly... which gets ever worse when recalling that historically standard situations, such as corner balls, are a German team strength, beside dominating the shit out of others.

No one talks about what the German player said to the Dutch player, but they all recall the response. 

During the legendary 1990 World Cup match between Germany and the Netherlands, Frank Rijkaard was given a yellow card for a hard foul on Rudi Völler. As Rijkaard took his position, he lost his temper, walked up to Völler, and spat directly into his curly hair. 

Because Frank Rijkaard was typically known as a calm, professional player, immediate rumors and media speculation spread after the match that Rudi Völler must have provoked him with a racist insult to cause such a furious reaction.

Völler consistently maintained that he did absolutely nothing to provoke the attack, and Rijkaard later agreed, stating that Völler was completely innocent. The two completely put the incident behind them in 1996 when they famously filmed a lighthearted dairy commercial together sitting in bathrobes, donating all of their proceeds to charity.

Germany also in games shows a historic flexibility of fairness: 

By using adjustable, screw-in studs during the 1954 World Cup final in Bern, the German team gained a massive tactical and physical advantage over Hungary. The match is famously remembered as the "Miracle of Bern," where Germany came back from a 2–0 deficit to defeat the seemingly invincible Hungarian "Golden Team" 3–2.

The innovative shoes, developed by Adi Dassler (the founder of Adidas), had a profound and immediate impact on the game:

 

Superior Traction on Muddy Ground

Heavy Rainfall: A massive downpour before the match turned the pitch into a muddy, slippery marshland.

The Gear Switch: While the Hungarian players wore traditional boots with fixed, short leather studs, the German team swapped to longer, interchangeable cleats right before kickoff.

Perfect Grip: The longer studs dug deep into the mud, allowing the German players to run, turn, and stop without slipping. 

Hungary complained that Germany's use of screw-in boots was an unfair advantage, but changing equipment to suit weather conditions was entirely legal. It was viewed as a brilliant tactical innovation by Adi Dassler rather than cheating.

And incredible capability of using the law for others.

Under pressure, such as being in a World Cup, humans tend to show their dominating character. The action of holding down the Goaly of another team being about to ending tournament attendance instead of loosing in dignity is deeply accepted in and even supported in German education and culture.

In times of war that goes bad. Here it is just a game...

And some can lip read. "Denk and deine Kinder"

PS: Unlike the Hoeneß family, the German Football Association (DFB) had extensive, deeply documented ties to the Nazi regime. For decades after World War II, the DFB largely ignored or covered up its actions during the Third Reich.

However, a landmark academic study commissioned by the DFB in 2001 and published by historian Nils Havemann in 2005 (Fußball unterm Hakenkreuz) exposed the association's systematic collaboration and opportunism under Adolf Hitler.
