Former Champions of World cup, Germany made a surprising quick exit from the 21st FIFA World Cup ongoing in Russia after losing to South Korea with the score of 2-0.

As compared to last World cup where, Germany was on the top of the table in their group (USA, Portugal and Ghana) while this year last in their group with 3 points in 3 matches. They were allotted Group F along with Sweden, Mexico and South Korea.

“The disappointment is deep inside me. I couldn’t imagine that we would lose to South Korea. I’m shocked because we didn’t pull it off today. It’s premature for me to say something, I’m incredibly disappointed. Where we go from here – we will have to take some time and talk about it calmly.” said Joachim Löw (Manager of Germany) in an interview with The Guardian

“We had a good training camp,” Löw said. He added, “The team worked well, players were training really well. But the two friendly matches, against Austria and Saudi Arabia, were not good. Maybe we thought at the push of a button we could shift gears, but we lost against Mexico. If we had taken a point it would have been different.”

German fans are in a great shock after the defeat from the South Korea. Germany is currently top of the FIFA rankings and reigning world champions were knocked out of the World Cup in the group stage for the first time since 1938.

Due to this series of events the German team welcomed a lot of trolls and memes. But despite that, people are supporting the team in their bad times.
