Philipp Lahm
Made in Germany is a label that is widely considered a synonym for quality and durability of a product.
The same could be said for the German team at the European Championship.
The Germans have reached the semifinals of a major tournament for the fourth consecutive time. Now, they hope they have the quality to finally win one.
Captain Philipp Lahm says his team has ''a lot quality in the squad'' and that's a ''calming feeling'' ahead of a semifinal against either England or Italy in Warsaw on Thursday and, potentially, the final.
