He enjoyed great success in the UEFA European Football Championships, starting in consecutive finals. In 1992, Germany lost surprisingly to Denmark, which had been called at the last hour, but four years later went one better, defeating the Czech Republic in extra-time at Wembley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eHelmer also appeared in two FIFA World Cups, bowing out of international football in the second round clash of the 1998 edition against Mexico, when he was replaced before half-time by Christian Ziege. He was known for tripping Josip Weber during the 1994 world cup in the penalty area but Kurt Röthlisberger, the referee, did not make a call. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adidas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67586116452570,"sku":"16945 - Bag 39","price":299.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0188\/0122\/files\/20261019_120841.jpg?v=1792492259","url":"https:\/\/classic11.com\/products\/1996-germany-home-player-issue-football-shirt-helmer-5-l","provider":"Classic11 Football Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
