Germany Is Out of World Cup 2018

The 2014 world champions are out of the World Cup in Russia. Germany’s loss to South Korea and Sweden’s massive victory over Mexico means that the 2014 World Cup winners are heading home. This is the first time in the last 16 World Cups that Germany is going out before the knockout stages.
The Germans has made it to at least the quarter finals in each of their last 16 World Cup appearances. The team, littered with stars such as Thomas Muller and Mesut Ozil, began by losing to Mexico 1-0 in their first game and only followed that up with a late winner against Sweden.
The German game against South Korea was among the most dramatic in World Cup history as Young-Gwon Kim scored a controversial goal that had to be judged by VAR before it was allowed.
