A player is only considered a World Cup winner if he made an appearance in a winning campaign. There will have been plenty of Arsenal fans cheering on Germany on Sunday evening, attempting to share in the triumph of a World Cup win that seems to edge further away from England's dreams. And rightly so, as the Gunners can now boast more World Cup winners than any other English club after Germany's dramatic 1-0 victory at the Maracana. German trio Mesut Ozil, Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker doubled Arsenal's winners' tally to six, overtaking Manchester United and West Ham.
