Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Germany star Mesut Ozil believes that he and his team-mates went a long way to silencing their critics when they won the World Cup earlier this summer.
Joachim Low's side had made a habit of falling short in major tournaments in recent years, reaching the last four of the competition in 2006 and 2010 and Euro 2012, as well as the Euro 2008 final.
However, they bucked the trend in Brazil, beating the hosts in the semi-finals before seeing off Argentina to life the trophy at the Maracana, despite some skeptical voices in the German media.
"Lots of people in the media had their say before the tournament and gave many opinions, some positive and some negative, about the team and individual players," he told Arsenal's official website.
"Things like us not being a team or not being mature enough, that some players wouldn't�t battle enough or weren't�t able to do certain things. We proved to everyone what strong character we have as a team."
