Germany 1988-1990 Away Short Sleeve Football Shirt [As worn by Matthäus, Völler & Klinsmann]

Description

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve away kit for the West Germany Euro 1988 & World Cup 1990 Campaigns.

West Germany hosted the 1988 Euro and also won the 1990 World Cup in Italy in this classic green away jersey.

In 1988, the team had high expectations. Some of the names to wear this jersey include the former USA manager and an incredible goalscorer with 47 international goals for West Germany and Germany, Jurgen Klinsmann, the current Leverkusen sporting director known for his constant refusal to sell players to Bayern, Rudi Völler, Kaiserslautern legend, Andreas Brehme, the team captain and their best player Lothar Matthäus, and many other co-stars.

This was the last Euro for West Germany alone, as the team was united in the following one. The team topped the group over Italy, Spain, and Denmark, mostly thanks to goals from Jurgen Klinsmann. However, the West Germans fell to the Dutch when Marco van Basten, one of the best strikers of his generation and ever, scored the winner for the Netherlands in 88th minute to make it 2-1, and lead the Netherlands to the final where they beat Soviet Union 2-0.

In the 1990 World Cup, it was another story. They started flying, beating Yugoslavia and the UAE with 9 goals in their first two matches, before drawing to Colombia in their last group match. In the Round of 16, they got the Netherlands, a star-studded team that won Euro 1988. Germany won that match in Milan 2-1, right before beating Yugoslavia 1-0 in the Quarter-finals. In the semis, they had to go through penalties to overcome England, who are still haunted by their penalties experience against Germans who never, ever lost a penalty shootout. In the final, they got the cream of the crop, Maradona’s Argentina. The Germans created a special tactic for the Argentine legend, making him ineffective and upsetting him as the match advanced. They won the match 1-0 with an 85th-minute penalty scored by Andreas Brehme, making them World Champions for the third time.
