Group F games. Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea

"Oh no there not" 

They aren't this year.

what a way to spend a summers afternoon watching Germany tank

They aren't this year.

That's good enough for me 

Woo-hoo Germany out, well done Korea 😊🎩🎈🍻

The Champion is going home 

Piss poor. The result of taking things easy.

Surely the end for herr scratch und sniff

England are now 4th favourites according to betting odds.

Ok ok...this WC has England's name on it...

I agree

Germany become the 4th defending champion out of the last 5 in failing to progress beyond the group stage.

In that context maybe it shouldn't be as big a shock as it should be but still - f**king hell!

To think, he left out one of City’s best players of last season, done a Wenger and persisted with Ozil too for some bizarre reason, Reus shouldn’t have made the squad either.

As the next 'big' name to go

By all accounts it seemed that Sane's performances in the games he's played for Germany had been underwhelming and that he didn't work hard enough to integrate himself within the squad. It wasn't early as big a story in Germany as it was in the UK for those reasons. Low was probably right to drop him on those factors. I also think the constant changes in team selection was not a cause of Germany's downfall but indicative of how lethargic they were. For a side who has been consistently brilliant as they were it was probably inevitable that they'd lose that motivation and energy as time went on.

Look I will say this just once!, if you see a German don't mention the VAR!, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!

So with Italy staying at home, and Germany on the next plane back, Brazil will continue to be the world's most successful football nation for another 4 years...

I don't think Brazil are as good as France. Neymar will hold Brazil back like Rooney held England back. If Firmino was on instead of Neymar, Brazil would be stronger but it won't happen. The diving, playacting, useless striker has regressed and Brazil won't drop him because he's seen as a local talisman, the rest of the world think he's a Jackass. I'd like to avoid Brazil for now, but I'd rather get them than Croatia, France or Belgium in knockout. Serbia had enough chances to score a bunch and a clinical side would have had a field day. These are chances teams won't get against France.

Surprised Germany did not make it when you look at their roster, but in none of the 3 games did they really play all that well and i think deserved to stay behind.

I imagine Low is out after this? Not just to not make it out of the group, but dead last? unimaginable going into the world cup. And please German FA, no calls to Jürgen.

Even in summer Germany still can't make it to Moscow.

I think hes being exposed on a world stage as pretty ordinary

Neymar is certainly being exposed as the pr**k we all knew he was. I hate seeing good players cheat though, its the same with Messi and Ronaldo although they aren't quite as bad as Neymar.

It used to be that people would back Brazil when their own team was not in it. Now people dislike Neymar to a point they just want to see Brazil thrashed.
