I don't know, some of these European sides don't look like your father's teams. Belgium is old and uninspiring, Spain is super young, and this Germany is just meh.
International is usually pretty low level affair compared to club, but this is particularly bad. Not much of a surprise that most sides look pretty disorganized and poor.

To be honest I think most European teams look tired. Regardless of whether they are young or old. They're struggling with the timing of this World Cup it seems.
I would much prefer a South American World Cup winner anyway, so I'm not unhappy about it either. European teams have devolved into boring tactical quasi club team football over the years imo. Which is why they always win.
