Think an interesting point to validate this analysis would be to check when Germany won and lost when they were favourites or underdogs. If underdogs they've overperformed as you'd expect. Also, the national team's win % from the semi-finals is 31% - this is better than 25% which would be the expected average. But interesting article all the same.
