[edit] 2010 FIFA World Cup finals

The 2010 World Cup draw, which took place on 4 December 2009, placed Germany in Group D, along with Australia, Serbia, and Ghana. On 13 June 2010, they played their first match of the tournament against Australia and won 4–0. They lost their second match 0-1 to Serbia. Their next match against Ghana was won 1–0 by a goal from Mesut Özil. Germany went on to win the group and advanced to the knockout stage. In the round of 16, Germany defeated England 4-1 that was marked by a controversial goal scored by Frank Lampard that was disallowed despite video replays that showed the ball clearly beyond the goal line. In the quarterfinals, Germany defeated Argentina 4-0; this match was also celebrated striker Miroslav Klose's 100th international cap and the match in which he tied German legend Gerd Müller's record of 14 World Cup goals, one behind the all-time record of 15 World Cup goals, which is held by Ronaldo of Brazil. In its subsequent match, the World Cup semifinal, Germany was defeated 1-0 by Spain on 7 July. Germany played Uruguay for Third Place, as in 1970, and won the match 3-2 on 10 July.

Germany scored the most with a total of 16 goals in the 2010 World Cup, in comparison, the winning nation Spain scored only 8 goals. The German team became the first team since Brazil in 1982 to record the highest goal difference in a World Cup without winning it.

The German team has become multicultural, as 11 of the players in the final 23-man World Cup Finals roster were eligible to play for other countries.^[6]
