German legend Oliver Bierhoff is unhappy with their style of play - because it's too similar to Arsenal!
He reckons Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller and company are too much like Arsenal, with a desire to walk the ball into the net.
"A likeable, attractive German team that plays good football is worth more in terms of finance than one which plays boring football but wins the World Cup," he says.
"But frankly, the latter (a boring team) is hard to imagine. We have too many players who just love to play.
"German football generally does have an efficiency problem. You see it in the Bundesliga as well.
"I trace it back to 2000, when we changed the system in Germany. It transformed the development centres of clubs.
"We said to the players that it was now all about fun, enjoyment and technique. Even the national team players tend to play another pass when they are in the final third.
"Players from my time would have just lashed the ball into goal. But it's in the psyche of the players now.
"I remember getting booed because I hit the bar twice instead of scoring. Today you get applause after a good move when you don't score."
