Germany: The World's Most Powerful Footballing Nation

Ever. Or at least since the inauguration of this great competition in 1930.Some people measure success by the amount of titles won. Jose Mourinho would agree with this logic as this is how he defines himself. In several verbal jabs at his fellow colleagues (for instance, Claudio Ranieri, Carlo Ancelotti, Arsene Wenger, to name a few), he boasts about...
