I chose to view this match and what a shocker for everyone. Germany is out of the World Cup after being defeated by the unlikely South Koreans.
Interestingly enough, every time a country wins the Cup the next time they come back to defend their title as champion they are eliminated in the first round! The same happened to France, Spain, Italy and now Germany.
Germany, while playing technically well but did not have the speed nor the drive to win, it was as if they were playing a friendly.
Now we see why the Mexicans were able to beat them, it wasn't that the Mexicans were extra special but the Germans were that bad.
Many Germans were in tears.
Final score: Germany 0 - South Korea 2
Goals by: Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-min.
