Germany, like a miracle team, escaped the light of Spain and met Paraguay in the next round of the tournament. Surprisingly, Argentina, Portugal and France, who had been considered favorites, failed to make it to the next round. The result largely paved the way for Germany to advance. After easily defeating Paraguay, Germany welcomed hosts South Korea. Despite the referee's bad tactics, South Korea squeaked past Spain, but with the strength of the team, Ballack's goal sealed the deal and helped Germany advance.
However, Barack, who was carrying a maximum yellow card, did not qualify for the final. Facing the then soccer powerhouse Brazil, the German team was powerless and lost 0:2. 02 Germany, with only three strong players, miraculously made it to the final, a feat that was unbelievable. Perhaps, mentioning this, fans can't help but recall the "painful memories" of the 18-year German team's elimination. May this year's German team revitalize and show their strength.
