Lehmann conceded two goals in Germany's opening match of the World Cup, both scored by Costa Rica's Paulo Wanchope although Germany won the match 4–2. The Costa Rica national football team, nicknamed La Sele, is the national team of Costa Rica and is controlled by the Federación Costarricense de Fútbol Paulo Cesar Wanchope Watson (ˈpaulo ɰanˈt̪ʃope(born July 31, 1976 in Heredia), also known as "Chope" or as "La Cobra" in Lehmann played strongly in the next three games, conceding no goals and allowing Germany to sweep their group undefeated and beat Sweden convincingly in the Round of 16. Lehmann's streak of clean sheets was broken by Argentina in the quarterfinals, but his team found an equaliser late in the game and Lehmann stopped two shots in the penalty shootout:

The highlight of Lehmann's international career came in the quarterfinal match (June 30, 2006, Olympiastadion, Berlin) against Argentina. Events 350 - Roman usurper Nepotianus, of the Constantinian dynasty, is defeated and killed by troops of the Usurper Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The game remained tied 1–1 after 90 minutes and extra time. The game came down to penalty kicks and Lehmann carried his team through. He made two critical saves of Argentinian penalty kicks, one from Roberto Ayala and another from Esteban Cambiasso, and came close to saving a third. Roberto Fabián "El Ratón" Ayala (born 14 April 1973 in Paraná Argentina) is an Argentine football player for the Esteban Matías Cambiasso Deleau (born August 18 1980 in Buenos Aires) is a professional Argentine football Midfielder Meanwhile, the Germans made all of the necessary goals to win the penalty kicks 4–2. Lehmann's prowess in the shootout was aided by notes given to him before the kicks — an idea from Germany's chief scout, Swiss-born Urs Siegenthaler — with Lehmann keeping the paper in his right sock. Before the last shot from Cambiasso, Lehmann looked at the paper for a long time even though Cambiasso's name was not even on it. The story around the paper features in the film “Deutschland. Ein Sommermärchen”. Deutschland Ein Sommermärchen, or Germany A summer's tale is a 108 minutes long 2006 Documentary film, written filmed and directed by Lehmann was considered a hero by the German public after these saves, and he received praise even from long-time rival Oliver Kahn. [14]

Germany's opponent in the semifinals was Italy. The Italians had the better chances to score but Lehmann made several spectacular saves, including one in extra time where he dove out of goal to intercept an Italian player who had broken loose from the defence, punching the ball clear with his fist and temporarily knocking out the Italian in the process. He allowed two goals within a minute of each other with only a few seconds remaining in overtime. However, neither of these goals could be blamed on Lehmann, but were caused by Germany's defence playing high up the pitch. These goals put Italy into the World Cup final. The retiring Oliver Kahn was given the honour of starting in the third place match, with which Lehmann was content.

In August 2006 Lehmann revealed that during the World Cup he was suffering with a foot injury that he claims was a result of wearing different boots. The German Football Association ordered their players to wear only those manufactured by principal sponsor Adidas as opposed to Lehmann's sponsor Nike. WikipediaManual of Style (trademarks, which says "Lowercased trademarks with no internal Nike Inc ('naɪki ( is a major publicly traded sportswear and equipment supplier based in the United States. This has now been overturned thanks to Lehmann and several other players protesting about the decision and the players are now free to wear boots made by other companies.

In August 2006, Lehmann suggested that he may retire from league and international football after playing for Germany in Euro 2008. The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football [15] However, he subsequently stated in January 2007 that he has not made any decision on retirement.
