As far as I can remember back, the Netherlands have survived the group stage everytime since 1988. The streak might be longer, but I can't be bothered to look it up. Meanwhile, Germany got knocked out in the group stage in two of the last three Euros. In the more recent one out of these two failures, Germany was in the same group as the Netherlands. What I am trying to say is that you should be happy if your team manages to finish third in the group. Keep your goals realistic. |
Germany won the EC trophy more often than any other country. So according to your flawed logic from achievements and failures of the past (with different teams and coaches), the most realistic goal would be to expect another trophy for Germany.
