And it seems £35m-rated star striker Nick Woltemade and Co's thirst for success has got the better of them.
Germany secured their spot in the showpiece by thumping France 3-0 on Wednesday at Kosicka Futbalova Arena.
Now explosive reports in their homeland have revealed that afterwards they were confronted by one of the stadium's VIP hostesses on the team bus.
The fuming woman, described as being 'visibly distraught' and having 'her makeup smeared by tears', stormed the coach as staff and players waited for the few remaining stars to complete post-match doping tests.
The lady marched straight past a security guard armed with a submachine gun and four stewards to board the coach and headed straight for boss Di Salvo, who was seated near the front.
She then pulled out her phone and began taking several photos as the Germans looked on in total bemusement.
The mugs, worth €3 each, were believed to have been provided for the match officials to enjoy some post-match fluids.
Instead, 15 of them went missing and stadium staff were quick to point the finger of blame at the German players.

A stadium supervisor told BILD: 'German players simply stole around 15 beer mugs. They probably think it's all free — but it isn't.
'That's why my employee ran onto the bus. She wanted to take photos as evidence.'

Germany denied all accusations of theft and instead claim that somebody else, not associated with them, must have removed the mugs.
U21 press officer Markus Beer said: 'It was all completely different. The woman had brought several beer mugs into the catacombs, presumably for the referees. Then later, empty mugs were there, which were suddenly gone.
'Someone must have thrown them away. She obviously thought our players had simply taken them. But that was definitely not the case.'
It remains unclear whether the mugs were eventually recovered by the distraught woman and staff at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena.

But Lee Carsley and his England side will be going all out to ensure it is Woltemade and his pals who look the mugs at the Stadion Tehelne Pole in the Slovakian capital.
And hopefully it will be them crying into their beer steins later should our boys lift the European Championship for a second-consecutive time.

England 3 Germany 2: Young Lions retain Euro U21s crown in THRILLER as supersub Jonathan Rowe wins it in extra-time
Premier League star walked off injured in the first half as Germany smack crossbar TWICE TWO IN A ROWE England 3 Germany 2: Young Lions retain Euro U21s crown in THRILLER as supersub Jonathan Rowe wins it in extra-time Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHAT a way to make an entrance! Jonathan Rowe scored with his first meaningful touch to clinch back-to-back European Championship crowns for England.

Harvey Elliott and Omari Hutchinson got him off his seat early but Nelson Weiper and Paul Nebel brought them down to earth as painful memories flooded back. But despite the glorious failures of countless superstars before them, this next golden generation is built differently. And after holding strong against a German onslaught, they bounced back as Rowe grabbed the glory to leave their opponents crying into their steins. It almost couldn't have been any sweeter than against our old foes. This week marked the 29th anniversary since Germany broke our hearts at Wembley after Gareth Southgate's penalty miss. Next week it will be 35 years since Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle were the shootout culprits at Italia 90. But these boys, who have told the press pack out here many times, don't care about the past. There is no room for glorious failure. This shirt does not weigh heavy on them. 12 Liverpool ace Harvey Elliott put England in front inside five minutes Credit: Reuters 12 Ipswich star Omari Hutchinson made it 2-0 just under 20 minutes later Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 12 England first team manager Thomas Tuchel was full of smiles early on Credit: Getty CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS They certainly showed no fear and grit to overcome a German side who had not been beaten in 21 matches. Despite facing six-goal tournament top scorer and Kane's heir to the Bayern Munich throne Nick Woltemade, these Young Lions wasted no time in sinking their teeth into the Germans. Brighton Eye £40m Harvey Elliott from Liverpool The striker, who Stuttgart are demanding £85m for, had not had a sniff by the time Elliott fired home on five minutes. There was a touch of good luck about it but, after all, fortune favours the brave. England's own top scorer started it with a drive inside only for his pass to the left deflected off team-mate Alex Scott's back and into the area. Hutchinson reacted fastest but his effort was saved by Noah Atubolu. A scramble ensued, and the ball was only cleared to the edge of the 18 yard box, and talisman Elliott took a touch and then drilled home. The Liverpool star issued a warning to Arne Slot before heading out here that he was no longer willing to waste his career sitting on the bench. If that wasn't a come-and-get-me plea to interested clubs then his displays out in Slovakia certainly have been. 12 Germany striker Nelson Weiper pulled one back with a bullet header on the stroke of half-time Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 12 Paul Nebel's stunning strike levelled the scores just after the hour mark Credit: Getty He stepped up and scored in all three of the knockout matches. A boy becoming a man for the big occasion. The Young Lions smelt blood. Twice they came close to doubling their tally before it was the turn of captain James McAtee to shine. His decision to choose playing here over going to the Club World Cup with Man City is a testament to what Carlsey has built. The skipper did ever so well to hold off a defender and slip in Hutchinson, and he took a touch and smashed it past Atubolu. His celebration was as good as the finish. An acrobatic somersault and German heads were spinning. 12 Hutchinson did a somersault after doubling England's lead in the 24th minute Credit: Getty It could have been a rout, just like in 2009 when these two last met in the final of this competition, as McAtee put it on a plate across goal but neither Jay Stansfield nor Charlie Cresswell could finish. That day Germany trounced Stuart Pearce's team 4-0. Six players from that team - Manuel Neuer, Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira, Jerome Boateng, Dennis Aogo, and Marko Marin - went on to win the 2014 World Cup. And Tuchel, sat upper the tier watching on, could easily have been forgiven for thinking he could be about to benefit in similar fashion. But, as ever when it comes to playing against Germany, there's always a sting in the tail. A naughty challenge by Eric Martel on Scott, which earned him a booking, right on half time eventually forced the Bournemouth man off. He was in tears as Tyler Morton replaced him. 12 Bournemouth full-back Alex Scott's untimely substitution, after battling with long-term injury that saw him wearing a mask, left England vulnerable before half-time Moments later Germany were back in it. Paul Nebel whipped in a cross and Weiper rose highest to head past James Beadle. Game on. For those old enough, memories of 1970 came flooding back when England blew a two-goal lead and were dumped out of the World Cup by the Germans. But Carsley, who told his opposite number Antonio Di Salvo 'see you in the final' after being beaten 2-1 by them ten days ago, went back even further. Just like Sir Alf Ramsey in '66, the message was clear: 'You've beat them once, go beat them again.' It didn't work out exactly like that. Beadle stopped a stinger from Gruda but he could do nothing to stop Paul Nebel curling home the equaliser. The pressure was on. But our boys rode out the storm, even when Germany rattled the bar late on, and it was into extra-time. Rowe was on for Elliott, and with just his second touch he met Morton's cross to head home. Carsley delivered again. Now it's over to Tuchel next summer.

England U21s retain Euros crown despite throwing away two-goal lead vs Germany
Jonathan Rowe stooped to conquer after coming off the bench as Lee Carsley's Young Lions roared to retain their European Under-21 title. Rowe, the 22-year-old former Norwich striker who now leads Marseille's attack, ducked into Tyler Morton's perfectly-delivered cross to score with his first touch as England's youngsters dug deep to defeat the old enemy in Bratislava. England looked to be cruising to victory when Harvey Elliott and Omari Hutchinson put them 2-0 ahead inside 25 blistering minutes. They then had to call on their huge reserves of character when Germany hit back with two spectacular strikes by Nelson Weiper and Paul Nebel. Now Carsley has emulated the achievement of Dave Sexton, who won back-to-back Euros with the Under-21s in 1982 and 1984. England boss Thomas Tuchel was there to see the drama after flying in from the Club World Cup in the United States to watch the nation he has adopted overcome his countrymen. Germany knocked out Italy and France on their way to the final. In the group stages they beat England 2-1 despite resting a raft of players. Antonio Di Salvo's youngsters were unbeaten for 20 matches in a run that stretched back two years. And in attack they had Nick Woltemade, the 23-year-old who has just scored 17 Bundesliga goals to help Stuttgart qualify for the Champions League to prompt Bayern Munich to pay £43million for his services. Woltemade scored six goals during Germany's march and will go home with the Golden Boot as well as a runners-up medal. England should have been out of sight by half-time. They were so superior that the Germans must have been tempted to ask UEFA to check English birth certificates as Carsley's lads made it look like men against boys. England were ahead in the fifth minute. Hutchinson should have scored, but fired too closely to Germany keeper Noah Atubolu. But when the loose ball landed at the feet of Elliott the Liverpool winger took a touch before ramming his fifth goal of the tournament into the bottom corner with his left foot. Captain James McAtee flashed a fierce shot across past the far post and looked on in disbelief moments later when he picked out Jay Stansfield at the far post with the goal gaping only for the Birmingham striker to misread his pass. But England did get the second goal they had been threatening in the 24th minute when McAtee's pass invited Hutchinson to lash his shot through the legs of Atubolu. Hutchinson might have scored again after another sweeping move had cut Germany to ribbons but his drive was deflected wide. And only a smart save from Atubolu prevented McAtee from scoring when he met Hutchinson's low cross with a first-time finish. England were so superior that the Germans might have been thinking about asking UEFA to check their birth certificates because it looked like men against boys. Then the influential Alex Scott was forced off with a knee injury after being wiped out by Germany captain Eric Martel. Substitute Tyler Morton was still trying to get up to pace when he lost Weiper as Nebel whipped over a cross from the right and the German forward found the top corner with a powerful header that flicked off the fingertips of England keeper James Beadle. The goal had a galvanising effect on the Germans. McAtee was inches away from restoring England's two-goal advantage after a dazzling 40-yard run. But then Nebel was given too much space on the hour when England failed to clear a corner and he found the top corner with a lovely curled finish. Yet back came England and substitute Brooke Norton-Cuffy might have won it but scuffed a decent chance too close to Atubolu. They had a huge let-off in the fourth minute of injury-time when Nebel's snap shot deflected off Norton-Cuffy and slapped the crossbar. Germany substitute Merlin Rohl thought he had conjured up some magic in the dying seconds but his shot crashed off the crossbar. But it was Carsley who sent on Ethan Nwaneri and Rowe for extra-time - and 90 seconds later came the decisive moment.
