The winner’s curse has struck again – this time for Germany. The
2014 champions have been sent packing from this year’s World Cup
after finishing bottom of group F.
World Cup permutations: who can qualify for the
last 16?
Beaten 2-0 by the Korea Republic, the result means that Germany
follow in the footsteps of 2006 winners Italy and 2010 winners
Spain to be knocked out in the group stage the following
tournament.
Late goals from Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-min gave
Korea the victory. Sweden and Mexico finished top and second to
qualify for the World Cup round of 16.
After the crushing defeat Germany head coach Joachim Low
said the holders did not deserve a place in the knockout
stages.
Low told the BBC: “The disappointment of us being eliminated is
just huge. We didn’t deserve to be winning the World Cup again, we
didn’t deserve to move into the round of 16.
2006: Italy win the #WorldCup
2010: Italy knocked out in the groups
2010: Spain win the #WorldCup
2014: Spain knocked out in the groups
2014: Germany win the #WorldCup
2018: Germany knocked out in the groups

“I’m shocked. Shocked because we didn’t manage to pull it
off and beat Korea Republic and we lost this game. It wasn’t my
impression when I spoke to the team before that they were under
pressure before the match because the Sweden game was on at the
same time.
“We really had the feeling that our team wanted to move
ahead and qualify for the knockout stages.”
Low added: “How do we go from here? We’ll have to talk
about it calmly and I think it’s premature for me to say something.
It will take me some hours to come to terms with it and I’m
incredibly disappointed by this elimination.
“Our team in this match was missing the ease of play and
the classiness we normally display. Also the dynamism that led to
the goalscoring opportunities was not there, so we deserve to be
eliminated.”
