Germany exit even more bitter! This stat rubs salt in the wound

Germany exit even more bitter! This stat rubs salt in the wound The fact that the German national team always wins in penalty shootouts is history as of last night. In the dramatic finish against Paraguay, no fewer than three DFB stars lost their nerve from the spot.  That fact alone is already pretty bitter. It gets even more bitter when you look at the following detail. Until now, only one German international had ever failed in a penalty shootout.  And that was quite a long time ago. In 1982, it was Uli Stielike who missed his penalty against France on the "Night of Seville." But because Toni Schumacher saved the following shots and Horst Hrubesch converted, the DFB team advanced to the final against Italy (1:3).  This time, the team has to head home after the round of 32.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
