So the player who is destined to become the World Cup's top scorer, Thomas Muller, still hasn't scored in a European Championship game. And it's his failure that perhaps explains why the World Champions failed to win this thing.
They were strong everywhere else, but with the poacher Klose in international retirement, onus for the goals fell on Muller's shoulders and he failed to deliver.
Ozil and Schweinsteiger were their usual brilliant selves in midfield, but you sensed when Mario Gomez was ruled out of the tournament by injury, Germany's hopes of winning it went home with it.
