I'll back that up.

Peru weren't a bad team. There was no way Argentina could have beaten
them 6-0 without outside interference

I don't for 1994. Forget the final and see other games, like
versus Sweden (both), Russia, Nederlands...

Italy 2006 was not mediocre. Don't focalize ont the penalty
versus Australia : 3-0 Ukrain, 2-0 Germany at home, 2-0 Ghana,
2-0 Czech Republic...

It's highly amusing how you Italians still disregad Germany despite
them having scored 16 goals on the hardes paths (Group of Death/
England/Argentina/Spain) to the finals in the WC history...

I think Germany played the best football of the tournament. Their
counter attack moves against England and Argentina are the best I've
seen in my life. Perfect choreography and Schweinsteiger might have a
freaking annoying last name but he's proven to be an awesome
distributor of the ball. This is the best Germany of my lifetime.

Lahm said it before the tournament: "This is the best team I ever
played". With a good expert eye you could see it before, how the U21
Team dismantled England exactly with that kind of counterstrikes or
how Germany scored that 0-1 in Russia (which wrote history btw).

Anyway you are right, it was the best Germany of my lifetime before,
only the 1990 team that won the World Cup was comparable, but it was a
completely different kind of team. They were more dominant, but also
more mechanical and more "typical German", and weren't able to create
better games against the Czechs and specially against Argentina in the
final.
