Thats what this Germany team looks like to me. They've been to the World Cup Finals in 2002, finished third in 2006 and 2010, and lost in the Euro finals in 2008.
Then the core of the German National team has been to the Champions League final twice in three years and lost both times.
So, they're good and they're deep and they're powerful but I dont think they have what it takes to win it all. Sadly enough.

100% agree. I think they will get to the semis at least but do they have that extra push to take it all this year? Like you said the core is known for doing well but not being able to finish. Maybe some of the youth that has been added over the past two years will be the difference this time around. I certainly hope so. I'm tired of being so close to glory and then having to wait until the next tournament to (hopefully) see them deliver.
Come on Germany. This is the year we win.
