"I only see a legend," wrote one user under the post.
Even the reduction of Philipp Lahm to an announcer does not do justice to the German sports greats, according to a follower.
U-21 national coach Stefan Kuntz, as the most prominent commentary writer, wished the team a lot of fun.
Few words have been said about Markus Babbel.
Maybe the fan base just didn't recognize him.
