If Italy went out in the group stage in 2010 after winning in 2006 and Spain won in 2010 only to be eliminated in the group stage in 2014 does this mean that Germany, after winning the cup in 2014 are going to be eliminated in the group stage in 2018? 🤔

Only man who scored was Polish defender with unlucky own goal at the beginning of the match in winter snowy storm weather.
