Indeed, Germany is one of the dominant soccer powers and has zero black players.

Italy won the 2006 World Cup with no black players. In the final they defeated France, which had a number of black players, perhaps even a majority.

As I noted earlier, there are some sports where race has an effect on performance, such as football, basketball, and (the most extreme example) marathon running. But soccer isn't among them.
