Germany is booming, yet some commentators suggest the nation's loss of confidence on the football pitch may mirror economic angst back home.

Anna-Katarina Noryskiewicz reports from Berlin, plus presenter Rob Young speaks to Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the Ifo Centre for International Economics in Germany.
