Failure to get out of a group that also contained Northern Ireland, Poland and Ukraine would have gone down as perhaps the biggest surprise in Euros history, and even winning it with seven points and not conceding a goal can't be seen as anything more than par for the course.
"We are where we wanted to be—it was what we had to manage," centre-back Mats Hummels said following the group stage, per Ian Rodricks of Reuters (via MailOnline).
