** fr=friendly WCQ=World Cup Qualifier

1985 Record: 4 wins, 5 losses, 2 draws.

When was the last time West Germany was shut out five times in one year?
The loss to Portugal was their first ever in a World Cup Qualifier!
Looking at their record last year, it is hard to expect them to be a
force in Mexico, combined with a poor showing in France in 1984, it
makes one think they are a spent force.  Still, they are West Germany,
so I can't count them out.  Quarter-finals.

Caps: Schumacher, Jakobs, Forster, Berthold, Herget, Matthaus, Magath,
Thon, Kroth, Frontczek, Briegel, Littbarski, Mill, Rummenigge (K),

Meier, Grundel, Allofs (T), Allgower, Rolff
