The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia is moving nearer and nearer, with only 18 days to go! Amongst now and the beginning of the World Cup, we will investigate an alternate measurement from the historical backdrop of the competition every day.
Germany are undisputed punishment rulers of the FIFA World Cup having won each of the four of their shootouts at the opposition. Over the span of those shootouts, they have taken 18 punishments and neglected to locate the net just once.
Kick the bucket Mannschaft challenged their first shootout in the semi-last of the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain. In spite of the fact that Uli Stielike was not able locate the back of the net against France that day, Manfred Kaltz, Paul Breitner, Pierre Littbarski, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Horst Hrubesch all scored while Toni Schumacher made two essential recoveries to book their place in the Final.
The last Germany diversion to be chosen by spot-kicks was their quarter-last against Argentina on home soil in 2006. The expectations of a country laid on Jens Lehmann, who had supplanted unbelievable goalkeeper Oliver Kahn right away before the competition. In a motion that will live long in the memory of German fans, Kahn shook his intense adversary’s hand before the shootout and whispered: “I wish you the good luck. This is your thing now, you can do it.” Lehmann held his nerve in the greatest snapshot of his vocation to spare punishments from Roberto Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso and help his group to achieve the last four of the World Cup. The German shot-plug’s execution turned into the stuff of legend because of a bit of paper that he pulled from his sock as every Argentinian punishment taker moved toward the spot.
