Perhaps you go and review the folloing goals: Germany - Argentina 2-0 Germany - Argentina 3-0 Germany - Argentina 4-0 Germany - England 2-0 Germany - England 3-1 Germany - England 4-1 Germany - Ghana 1-0 Germany - Australia 1-0 Germany - Australia 3-0 Germany - Australia 4-0 Note: I skipped for you those (few) goals that could be interpretated as "mechanical"...
