Source-derived summary

This is a list of international football matches of the Germany national football team between 1990 and 1999.

Following the reunification of Germany, the best players from the former East were added to a squad which were already reigning World champions of 1990. The unified German team reached the final of UEFA Euro 1992 only to surprisingly lose to Denmark, but then won the 1996 tournament in England. At the World Cup, Germany failed to maintain their own high standards (having been involved in the previous three finals), being eliminated in the quarter-final stage at both the 1994 and 1998 editions.
