Germany's 20th century history meant flying the flag or wearing the colours was frowned upon in some quarters, but that all changed as a modest national side finished third and enthralled a whole country, which opened its doors to fans from across the world for the party. "I think it's good that I'm no longer the only one with a flag on my car," said the then German president Horst Köhler. Many non-football fans in Germany think Jürgen Klinsmann's side won ...

Real Madrid and Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has made a major sacrifice in a bid to get extra fit ahead of returning to international football at Euro 2024.

"The Euros could have a positive psychological and indirect effect on the German economy. Hotels and the catering industry in particular will benefit from additional demand, ...

Nagelsmann celebrates his 37th birthday nine days after the final in Berlin's Olympic Stadium on July 14.
