Hallo, ich bin Brasilianer. Ich dachte darüber nach, wie die Deutschen uns unsere größte Niederlage bescherten, während wir gegen sie einen unserer größten Siege errangen. Ich wollte wissen: Wer ist Deutschlands größter Rivale im Fußball und was sind die größte Niederlage und der größte Sieg der deutschen Nationalmannschaft?

Netherlands, Paraguay a few days ago (at least it feels like it), 3:2 against Hungary 1954
Germany is Germany’d biggest rival.
Noone will pick apart the national team like the people who purport to support it.
But that’s the way Germans generally show support, with criticism rather than blind following.
Italy
There are several teams against which Germany struggled in the past years. I don’t think there is a biggest rival. But some of the more or less rivals are Spain, Italy, France, and Argentina.
Biggest rivals: Historically the Netherlands, nowadays Italy and Spain
I would say the biggest victories are the world cup wins, the biggest defeats the world cups since 2018 and the biggest rival are the Netherlands, maybe Italy and England.
Biggest rival people care about is the Netherlands.
Biggest defeat hard to say, nothing comes to mind immediately. The 2002 final really felt more like a victory because of how we got there, maybe the 1986 final, maybe 1966 .
Biggest win has to be the 7:1 even though its not a final or anything just because of the cultural impact it had. Everyone knows where they were when they watched it, its like a positive 9/11.
As a spaniard living in germany, Cucurella
There are five teams we have lost more matches against than we have won: England, Italy, France, Argentina, and Brazil. Apart from these, playing Holland and Austria it’s very very important we win and in recent years Spain needed to be added.
Our biggest defeat was either losing to the GDR or the draw against Austria in Gijon, biggest victory depending on people’s age either WC90 or WC14.
I’d say Italy and the Netherlands, but probably Italy most of all. But let’s be honest. At the moment, we Germans are our own worst rivals.
Italy
I was there centuries ago during the Great War of 1990 when Dutch warrior Frank Rijkaard spat not once, but twice, at the legendary Rudi Völler, thus accelerating another battle in the war between the great rivals…the Kasetopf nemeses to the North./s just in case.
from a competitive perspective France and Spain are our top rivals, we are a lot less concerned about Argentina, Brazil, Italy (only very recently though)
Emotionally our biggest rivals are Netherlands and recently also Spain
Italy:Germany is Il Classico.
England and Netherlands are close behind, but we are closer to them than to the Italians.
The classic rivals are Netherlands and Italy. England is also a rival but they care way more about the rivalry than we do. France is arguably a rival but this is a rather new thing. I think Austria and Poland also consider us rivals but we don’t care.
Biggest victory: Maybe the final of the WC1954. In recent memory the final 2014 or the match against Brazil in the same tournament.
Biggest defeat: Idk. Probably the WC final 1966 in Wembley stadium.
I’d say that it depends a lot on the person you ask and especially on the person’s generation. For me (30 years old) the biggest rival is undoubtedly Italy and the worst defeat was the 2006 World Cup Semifinal against Italy. The biggest defeat I can remember was a 6-0 against Spain but that was a rather unimportant friendly, so I don’t remember it as vividly as that game in 2006.
The biggest victory historically is probably the 1954 World Cup final. For my generation, it’s still the 7-1 against Brazil. Brazil isn’t really considered a rival, but the whole game was symbolic for how strong the national team was at that time.
Never Brazil. We hate the Netherlands. Special mention Italy.
Rivalry wise it is the Netherlands for us. The dutch hate us for existing since 1945 and we didn’t forget Rijkaard spitting on Völler and Koeman‘s comments.
Otherwise it would be the French, Brazil or Italy but those are more from a historical context with France and Brazil, Italy and us being the three big old football powers. They are more competitive and less emotional.
Historical rival: Netherlands
Current rival (as in, team you’d most like to beat): Italy
Most hated opponent: Argentina
Little brother: Austria
Biggest rival : The Netherlands
Biggest win : 7-1 to brazil
Biggest loss ( friendly ) 9-0 to England
Biggest loss ( real game nations league ) 6-0 to Spain
Biggest rival: Italy (they won also most encounters)
Biggest victory: many to choose from; I go with 3:2 against Hungary in the 1954 final because that was the most unlikely.
Biggest defeat: 0:2 against Italy in the semi finals in 2006, the German team had it in it to win the world cup.
You need to consider that almost all rivalries exist also for the EMs. Just look up results of Germany deciders and you will know.
Biggest victory, historically: Hungary, 3:2
Biggest victory, in our lifetime: 7:1
Simultaneous biggest victory + defeat: 1:0, 1974
And honorable mention as victory+defeat: 1:0, 1982
Actual biggest defeat: 1986?
Netherlands. For me personally Italy as well ever since that 2006 semifinal
