Germany was a rival to Spains dominant era, but they always lost. Germanys high press style didnt really come about until about 2013. I think 2014 Germany was much different than 2010 in terms of style. I feel like theyd give trouble to spain, and their counters would be a handful .
This is not an excuse, it’s natural that teams cannot dominate for a long time even if the players are the same, because the game evolves. Almost the same Germany that dominated in 2014 was dead last in the group stage at the next world cup.
Tbf the whole core of the team of 2014 was gone by 2018.
