The national football teams of Germany and Italy, two of the most successful football nations in Europe and in the world, are long-time rivals. On the overall, the two teams have achieved eight World Cup victories and a total of fourteen appearances in the final of the tournament – more than all the other European nations combined. They have played against each other five times in the World Cup, and most of these matches have been notable in the history of the tournament. The ''Partita del secolo'' / ''Jahrhundertspiel'', or "Game of the Century", a 1970 semi-final between the two countries that Italy won 4–3, was so dramatic that it is commemorated by a plaque at the entrance of the Estadio Azteca in Mexico. As of November 2015, Italy is largely dominant in the head-to-head international matchup, having beaten Germany 15 times in 32 games (with 10 draws and 7 defeats).〔(Germany – Italy (Head-To-Head) ) at FIFA.com〕 Moreover, the German team has never been able to defeat Italy in a competitive game, with all Germany's wins over Italy obtained in friendly games. The last victory for Germany was on 21 June 1995, in Zurich, with the final result 2–0. There were also four matches played between Italy and East Germany which resulted 1 win for each country and 2 draws. The two teams also faced once in the Olympic Games: in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, West Germany defeated Italy 3–0 on the bronze medal match.〔(THE SEOUL GAMES : Roundup : West German Soccer Team Wins Bronze )〕 The last meeting ended 1–1 in Milan on 15 November 2013. ==List of matches== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Germany–Italy football rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
