This is a '''record of the men's [[Germany national football team|Germany]] and West Germany's results at the [[FIFA World Cup]]'''. For [[Germany]]'s World Cup history, FIFA considers only the teams managed by the [[German Football Association]], comprising three periods: [[Nazi Germany|Germany (during Nazi era)]], [[West Germany]] and [[German reunification|reunified Germany]]. The men's [[Germany national football team]] is one of the most successful national teams at the FIFA World Cup, winning four titles, earning second-place and third-place finishes four times each and one fourth-place finish. Germany's 12 podium finishes (3rd place or better) in 20 tournaments add up to at least three more than any other nation. In addition, Germany are the only team which has stood on the podium at least once during the completed decades in which at least one tournament was held (1930s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s). Along with [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] and [[Spain national football team|Spain]], they are one of the four national teams to win outside their continental confederation, with the title of the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] in South America. The team qualified for every FIFA World Cup tournament they have entered (20 out of the 22), the second most frequent, and only failed to reach the quarter-finals three times, in [[1938 FIFA World Cup|1938]], [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018]], and [[2022 FIFA World Cup|2022]]. With this, Germany's 8th place or better (quarter-finals) in 17 out of 20 tournaments (85%) ranks highest in FIFA World Cup finals history. It makes Germany the best team in the history of the tournament in terms of final positions, if points were awarded proportionally for a title, runner-up finish, third-place finish, semi-final and quarter-final appearances.

==FIFA World Cup finals==

===1954 World Cup Final v [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]]===
{{main|1954 FIFA World Cup Final}}

Only 14 days before the final, West Germany played the favoured Hungarian [[Golden Team]] in the first round of the tournament and suffered a 3–8 loss, their highest World Cup defeat to this day. In the final, Hungary was up by two goals after only eight minutes, so it came as a surprise that the West German team not only quickly equalized but turned the game around in the 84th minute with a goal scored by [[Helmut Rahn]].

===1966 World Cup Final v [[England national football team|England]]===
{{main|1966 FIFA World Cup Final}}

The strongly contested game between host nation England and West Germany went into extra time after a score of 2-2 after 90 minutes. [[Geoff Hurst]]'s [[Ghost goal#1966 World Cup Final|goal in the 101st minute]] is one of the most controversial in football history: His shot bounced off the cross-bar onto the ground and back away from the goal. After a brief discussion with the Soviet linesman [[Tofiq Bahramov]], referee [[Gottfried Dienst]] awarded the goal. With the West Germans forced to press for the equalizer, Hurst converted a counterattack in the 120th minute and decided the match for England.

===1986 World Cup Final v [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]]===
{{main|1986 FIFA World Cup Final}}

With the highest attendance ever at a FIFA World Cup final, West Germany faced Argentina in [[Mexico City]]. Although the Argentinian star player [[Diego Maradona]] was closely guarded by the West German team, he assisted the decisive 3-2 scored by [[Jorge Burruchaga]], ensuring his country's second World Cup win. Late during the match, three yellow cards were given to Argentinians for time wasting.

===1990 World Cup Final v [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]]===
{{main|1990 FIFA World Cup Final}}

For this re-match of the 1986 Final, Argentina played extremely defensively. Defender [[Pedro Monzón]] became the first player ever to receive a red card in a World Cup final, only to be joined by teammate [[Gustavo Dezotti]] 22 minutes later. Although West Germany was the dominating side with 23:1 shots, it is fitting that the rough match was decided by a penalty kick taken by [[Andreas Brehme]].

[[Franz Beckenbauer]] achieved the feat to lose and then win a World Cup final each as player (1966, 1974) and manager (1986, 1990).

===2014 World Cup Final v [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]]===
{{main|2014 FIFA World Cup Final}}

Despite defeating host country Brazil [[Brazil v Germany (2014 FIFA World Cup)|7–1]], Germany was supported by the home fans due to [[Argentina–Brazil football rivalry|Brazil's rivalry with Argentina]]. This record third match-up of two teams in World Cup finals saw good chances for both sides in regular time, but stayed goalless until substitute striker [[Mario Götze]] scored during the second half of extra time, in the 113th minute. The fourth title was the first since Germany's [[German reunification|reunification]] in October 1990.
