The group ended according to predictions. The Germans won comfortably, but their football was not convincing. If anything, Matthaus was praised as strong leader of the team – particularly by Paul Breitner, now a commentator. It was long wait, though – Matthaus was already 29 years old and compared to earlier leaders, including Breitner, he ‘matured’ very slowly. Yugoslavia had its moments, but that was that… moments. Colombia did well – they finished 3rd, but went ahead with their 3 points, which was practically a success. UAE played well for an outsider and as a typical outsider lost all games.
