Both teams have played with each other 18 times so far. Germany (as the Federal Republic of Germany until 1990) won twelve times. Poland succeeded to reach a draw six times.

This time German team was not in its best composition. After the World Cup 2014 in Brazil Philipp Lahm (former captain), Per Mertesacker, and the best scorer in the history of the World Cup Miroslav Klose left the team. In addition, Mesut Oezila, Bastian Schweinsteiger (new captain), Sami Khedira, Benedikt Hoewedesa, Marco Reusa and Mario Gomez could not play because of injuries.

Only Jakub Błaszczykowski due to injury and Sebastian Boenisch, who had to return to the squad after a year's break, did not play in the team of Adam Nawałka.

'If not now then when?' Polish football team fans asked. They were very optimistic about the end of the game and as it appeared later - they were right.
