What do German football and artillery have in common?
Germany defeated France in the 2014 World Cup football Quarter Finals.
France 0 - 1 Germany
German artillery destroyed the Belgian frontier forts in 1914 and the country was eliminated, but French artillery helped win the Battle of the Marne, saving Paris.
(Belgium was also eliminated in the 2014 World Cup Quarterfinals by Argentina.)
