The unthinkable has happened - Germany, reigning world champions, the consummate tournament team, are out of the World Cup at the group stage.

Their failure to beat South Korea on Wednesday afternoon, combined with Sweden's comfortable win over Mexico, saw Joachim Low's men exit Russia at the first hurdle - their first World Cup elimination at this point for 80 years.

Sweden won the group by beating Mexico 3-0 in the other match taking place at the same time, meaning Germany needed to defeat South Korea to get through in second place.

Root for mighty Brazil to finish first in its group, then they would face Mexico.

I'm sure a video is coming.

Some of those are pretty clever.My favorite,being from Massachusetts,was "Hitler Finds Out That Scott Brown Won In Massachusetts".

On a side note for those who haven't seen it...the actual film is quite good.

the american referee, Mark Geiger, did a great job. He’s reffed two matches so far and is certain to get at least one more.

It was nice to see a match where grabbing and pulling back opponents wasn’t tolerated.

Being an Anglophile agree with you along with Portugal and Belgium. Refuse to root for the major Latin American teams. They and their people are a bunch of arrogant aholes.

It really is. Can't watch the scene with the Goebbels' children, though, too painful to watch.

Let me guess. After five and a half hours of kicking a ball and pretending to be hurt they lost the match 1-0. Lol.

Do u know why so many people play soccer? Answer: So they don’t have to watch it!

I agree! From what I’ve seen the Latin American teams also play dirty as well. Personally, I’m pulling for either England or Portugal. England because my hubby is British and Portugal because I want to see Christano Ronaldo get a Work Cup trophy.

It also means the illegals won’t burn Los Angeles to the ground.

Let me see, this past week German cars lost out to South Korean cars to take the 2018 J.D. Powers top 3 “quality car” awards, and now Germany loses in Soccer to South Korea.

Germany wake up. Your elites like Merkel are presiding over national policies that ask you to bury any greatness you have or deserve under globalist poltical correctness. No wonder the demoralization even in sports.
