And yet, perhaps the most breathtaking display of football dominance I saw from that Germany team, was from their 2016 Euro semi-final against France. It was way more impressive than their brazil dismantling. Their control of the game was out of this world.

Football is "unstable" as a game. To dominate in a consistent way, you actually need to be overwhelming superior to your opponent in many different stages/aspects of the game. Any weak link and you are at the mercy of fate.

Ummm they lost... I was actually in France that year. France advanced then lost the final to Portugal.
