Its like this, if Bayern Munich dominates Europe, Germany will also dominate. Just like how Barcalona were dominating then Spain also dominated. Interesting enough, Barcalona had a poor season and look what happened to Spain. Munich dominated the league, won the domestic cup, won CL the season before and super cup, Germany thus win the WC (ignoring the thrashing from Real Madrid but thats what happens when you have Bale, Ronaldo and Di Maria counter attacking a high line :P)
