Moments ago Germany were knocked out of the World Cup by S.Korea. They are the current champions and this is their weakest showing since 1938.
England are not having a moment of schadenfreude at all, no sirree.

My mom is most likely heartbroken. The US wasn’t in it, so she cheered for Germany. Is Iceland started in?

Well, OK sort of a repeat of 1966, being how you won't be able to face Germany in the finals.  |

Sports reports are coming in. Germany ‘Do An England’WORLD CUP holders and 4 time winners Germany have crashed out of the World Cup following a disjointed, aimless and anemic performance, failing to beat supposedly weaker opposition in an act referred to by football experts as ‘doing an England’. For the time in 80 years Germany have failed to make the knock out phase of the World Cup, after putting a series of disappointing performances, in a fashion most associated with the English football team when they attend major football tournments. Despite a talented squad playing at an array of top European clubs, Germany, copying heavily from the ‘How to do an England’ handbook have crashed out in spectacularly humiliating style. “It’s just like watching England of old. Finally, another nation’s fans knows our pain,” explained one England fan, who found something strangely comforting and reassuring about the abject nature of the German team’s performance in Russia. “A cock up of this scale, on such a big stage, in front of so many millions of TV viewers. It’s as English as the Queen riding an English bulldog across a tennis court at Wimbledon while drinking Pimms”. Plodding along in a sluggish fashion with no width, invention or game plan, this German team’s performance has been hailed as possibly the best ‘doing an England’ of all time. Germans, famously modest, have denied themselves such plaudits, stating “fuck off, we’ve won it 4 times”. waterfordwhispersnews.com/2018/06/27/germany-do-an-england/ |

Sadly, Iceland who were my favourite 'plucky underdog' and whose supporters are magnificent, couldn't pull something out of the hat in a tough group and their tournament is over. They did get a draw against Argentina though and shouldn't feel dejected |

Love the Viking chant. |
