With his side set to face Uruguay in Saturday's third place play-off, midfielder Marcell Jansen echoed captain Philipp Lahm's hopes that Germany's young side can emulate the rise of FIFA World Cup™ finalists Spain.
Despite suffering key injuries in the run up to the finals, Germany have played some of the tournament's best football, hammering both England and Argentina before losing Wednesday's semi-final 1-0 to Spain.
Joachim Low's side may have failed to reach the final but there have been many positives to take from their tournament, including the unearthing of rising stars Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller. European champions Spain face the Netherlands in Sunday's final in Johannesburg and Jansen says Germany are hoping to emulate the progress made by La Roja's in recent years.
