The first leg in Glasgow ended 1-1 and in the last home game on October 22, 1969 in Hamburg they achieved their first win with a 3-2. Since the team had lost 3:8 to Hungary in the preliminary round, many considered a victory to be impossible. Initially, the team only competed against neutral states or former allies. In October 1952, a game against a World War II Allied national team took place for the first time. The FM09 was released on October 30, 2008. The biggest changes are the conversion of large parts of the graphics engine to that of the game FIFA 09, a new text mode that is supposed to be similar to a live ticker, a more extensive employee area, and an optionally brighter design. The sports ban was ended in October 1941 by a direct order from Hitler, as he expected a quick victory for the Wehrmacht in the East. However, the objection to this assumption was that the corresponding Latin name was not Armenius, but Armenicus or Armeniacus, as shown by the epithets later given to Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius for a victory over Armenia. With his first victory in Sweden after the Second World War, he qualified for the 1966 World Cup. At the World Cup in England, the German team started the tournament with a 5-0 win against Switzerland.

The final round of the European Championship was held for the last time with four teams in 1976, and again the German team qualified. In 1949, the English Football Association applied to FIFA to re-admit Germany to international games, whereupon FIFA lifted the ban on games against all German teams on May 7, 1949. The tournament has been held with 32 teams since 1998. Before the tournament, the Swedish team was only treated as outsiders, also because there had been discussions beforehand about whether so-called "football legionnaires" from Italy would be allowed to play for Sweden at the World Cup tournament. Although national coach Schön had the best striker at the time in Peter Meyer In the Bundesliga, it was only enough for a 0-0 draw, which meant that for the first and only time so far, qualification for a major tournament was missed. On November 22nd, 1950, after exactly eight years, this finally took place against Switzerland in Stuttgart under national coach Sepp Herberger first international match, jersey shirt which was won 1-0 by a goal from Herbert Burdenski. After the 2-1 win in the final against the Dutch, the West Germans thanked the GDR selection for the defeat, as it triggered an internal team revolt against the national coach Helmut Schön, who was considered indecisive and hesitant, with which the team lost Captain Beckenbauer's leadership was able to enforce their tactical ideas.

Based on the tournament so far, the German team was slightly favored, but the Italians took the lead after twenty minutes through Mario Balotelli. In 67 games, his team achieved 44 wins, drew twelve times and suffered eleven defeats. DFB President Peco Bauwens even spoke of an “incitement” against the German team. After the Federal Republic of Germany was founded, the DFB was also re-founded on January 21, 1950; at the same time, the German Football Association (DFV) was founded in the German Democratic Republic.. Only after the Hungarian apologized in writing to the DFB in 1960 was the ban lifted. Because the Hungarian national player Ferenc Puskás confirmed these allegations in an interview, the DFB banned international matches against teams in which Puskás played. On November 23, 1963, the DFB announced in a press release that Herberger would resign as national coach at the end of the 1963/64 season. Herberger's favorite student Fritz Walter also played again in the second leg on April 15, 1951, his 25th international match to date. The Italians took the lead in the 8th minute, and it was only in the final minute that Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, who plays for AC Milan, scored his only international goal for Germany to make it 1-1. Five more goals were scored in extra time.

In the second half, Karl-Heinz Riedle increased the score to 2-0. Tomas Brolin brought the Swedes closer again with a penalty kick, but in the 89th minute. In the minute, Riedle again gave the team a two-goal lead. The 2-0 defeat against Sweden in the last group game cost the Équipe tricolore their group victory. On August 31, 2016, he played for Germany for the last time in a friendly match, and like Podolski, he received an official farewell. Hungary's "golden team", which had become Olympic champions in 1952, was considered unbeatable at the time: in 32 games since May 1950, they had not lost once until the final in Bern and had only failed to win four times. With a 4-0 quarter-final win against Uruguay and a 2-1 win in the semifinals against the Soviet Union meant that the West German team made it into the final of a World Cup for the second time since 1954. At the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, the German team with players Toni Turek, Jupp Posipal, Werner Kohlmeyer, Horst Eckel, Werner Liebrich, Karl Mai, Helmut Rahn, Max Morlock, Ottmar Walter, Fritz Walter and Hans Schäfer became world champions.
