Germany has won 4 World Cups (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014) and appeared in a record 8 finals. They are the only team to have reached the semifinals of every World Cup from 2002 to 2014.
The 'Miracle of Bern' in 1954 — when West Germany beat the heavily favored Hungary 3-2 — is considered a foundational moment in post-war German identity and inspired the 2003 film of the same name.
Germany's 7-1 destruction of Brazil in the 2014 semifinal in Belo Horizonte is the most stunning result in modern World Cup history. Four goals were scored in a six-minute span between the 23rd and 29th minutes.
