Young Germans claim continental crown

FIFA Coins at the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, German football FIFA Coins has another reason to celebrate. On Thursday evening, Die Mannschaft won the UEFA EURO U-19 Championship title, meaning they will travel to next year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand as continental champions.

Coach Marcus Sorg’s team were in impressive form in Hungary, and their 1-0 final victory over Portugal reinforced their status as the most consistent side at the tournament. The fact that neither Spain – the competition’s most successful team in this age group – nor reigning U-20 world champions France managed to qualify for the finals further illustrated the quality of the field and Germany's strength.

Germany’s U-19s were the only unbeaten side in the competition, scoring the most goals (12) while conceding the fewest (two) en route to victory. Their campaign consisted of four wins and a 2-2 draw against defending champions Serbia, the only match in which their goalkeeper was beaten. Striker Davie Selke also ended the competition as top scorer, with six goals to his name.

The newly crowned European champions achieved all of this despite being forced to compete without several established first-choice squad members who are preparing for the new season with their Bundesliga clubs and could not travel to Hungary.
