Germany Away Shirt 1998

In 1998, Germany, managed by Berti Vogts, competed at the FIFA World Cup in France with a squad blending experienced stars like Jürgen Klinsmann, Lothar Matthäus, Andreas Möller, and emerging talents such as Michael Ballack. Germany advanced from a tough group with wins over the United States and Iran and a 2–2 draw with Yugoslavia. In the knockout stage, they defeated Mexico 2–1 in the round of 16 but were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Croatia, 3–0. The campaign was disappointing for a team with high expectations, highlighting the need for transition and squad refreshment ahead of Euro 2000.
