Speechless: the internet reacts to Germany’s exit from the World Cup

The World Cup winners’ curse has struck again. The last three champions – Italy, Spain and Germany – have all been knocked out at the group stage while defending their trophy. It’s becoming something of a trend, but that makes it no less surprising – especially when Germany are involved.

Some people think you can never write off the Germans … you can now.

Football is no longer a simple game

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans no longer always win. Previous version is confined to history.

John Stones has scored as many goals at the 2018 World Cup (2) as the entire Germany team combined

You can always go out early with a bad team, but not with a team like this one!! @DFB_Team
Honest assessment must start !!!

Leadership?
Personality?
Mentality?#DieMannschaft⁠ ⁠ #ZSMMN #WM2018⁠ ⁠ #WorldCup #worldcup2018 #Germany #Löw #DFB
