I not only provide lineups/goalscorers/etc, but I also try to add anecdotes, facts and trivia pertaining to the match in question.

[@unknown-gk2jo]

Kirsten was a great forward.
Without Klinsmann and Biahoff, he definitely deserved a starter in this tournament.
His achievements in playing Leverkusen are still unforgettable.
Personally, it seems that the German national team, with Kirsten at the end, do not have a serious striker.
2:10 Kirsten participates on the way.
From here he achieved a hat trick and saved Germany.

Spanish people supported Albania as you can see in the penalty goal.

[@f1Racecontrol]

This match was playeed in Granada, Spain because it was many problems in Albania at that time. It was in my 13th bithday and it was my birthday's present. Thanks DAD. I remember we didnt sit in my place because the german people took the places :(

this match is a example for germanys worst time since 1996 until 2010

[@mevlanisufi2100]

+Johnny Gnaneswaran bullshit.. Germany in 2006, lost only in semi-final to Italy who later were crowned wold champions.

[@johnnygnaneswaran8287]

Mevlan Isufi
The worst time ends 2010 and were (i am a German) crowned 2014 world champions

[@justdev8965]

Nope, they have historically have had a hard time with the Albanian football team. Most scores between these 2 nations have been decided on a one goal difference.
