Germany, the former World Champions are out of the tournament having been beaten by South Korea who themselved are out of the tournament anyway...

I watched the match with my German friends... Germany deserved to lose, they played badly, were slow, zero passion, had several aging, past their prime players (Ozil, Khediera, Gomez), while young, fast and powerful players were either benched (Brandt only played a few minutes but had the best attempt on goal) or not even in their squad! (In particular the yong rising star Sane)...

I doubt the coach/manager will be able to keep his contract...

I’m still pissed about this. Not just this game but the previous 2 as well.

Worst performance I have seen from Germany and I have been a fan since 1990.

If they played Brandt earlier (started?) and had Sane on the squad and played him at least 50% of the time they'd have the pace and power tk do real damage again...

Their style of football meams that being a step too slow, or hesitant/less accurate in stirking is the difference between a tie/loss and a stagering win....

England and Belgium have copeid this style p, but with young and aggressive players.., we'll see how they perform...

I agree man, no idea why he left Sane out. And is Werner really the only striker in Germany now? He should have started Mario in this last game.
