World Cup 2018 FIFA World Cup-Group F Thread (Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea)

[go you pups]

Arrogant flogs, lel

Germans failed to conquer in Russia in winter, now they've failed in summer.

I can see endless memes popping up in the next few days.

So Australia failed by playing slow possession football. Germany failed by slow possession forward. Korea just got numbers forward and played it fast. Hence the result. Something to ponder for Australia

I assume #löwraus is a thing by now

It is. Also #nichtmeineMannschaft (not my team).

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Now let’s all hope that Brazil get flogged so they go out too

Small problem- you need blokes up front that can score to do that. We have no one. Kruse is awful, Juric is laughable, McKlaren wasn’t played much and Cahill is on his last legs at 38. The reality is we can say “let play it fast up forward” but we need competent strikers- we have none.

They're going a bit early. Will look pretty stupid if Brazil bottle it too

 

[Whiskers]

Now Serbia & Switzerland to do their bit and knock Brazil out

I’m backing it to happen.

 

[HolyRioli]

:O

But with that, Australia are the worst performing AFC team at the World Cup. Saudis, South Korea and Japan all won, so did Iran

Stands to reason. We were the lowest AFC team to qualify

That last 10mins oh and the added 10mins was incredible viewing.
Leroy Sane to be in their next squad ?

1998: France WIN World Cup
2002: France OUT at Group Stage

2006: Italy WIN World Cup
2010: Italy OUT at Group Stage

2010: Spain WIN World Cup
2014: Spain OUT at Group Stage

2014: Germany WIN World Cup
2018: Germany Out at Group Stage

I still don't believe it; and I watched the whole game!

At least, they would have laughed. If we are kicked early, and they were quite, they missed the opportunity!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Final standings of Group F. Sweden and Mexico through to the round of 16.

 

[GremioPower]

Unbelievable couple of results.

Sweden thumping Mexico (when a draw seemed the most likely result) and South Korea beating Germany. South Korea's one genuine matchwinner steps up.

Whatever other problems the Korean National Team have, at least they have one good finisher. We don't.

I can't imagine the reactions in Germany right now. Spain also crashed out at the 2014 World Cup in the group stages, and Italy before them in 2010 (France also crashed out in 2002 after winning in 1998). Seems like being reigning WC champions is a poisoned chalice ATM.

The last defending champion to qualify out of the group stage was Brazil 1994/2002!

The last not-Brazil champions to qualify was Germany in 1994.

Yes, after watching soccer for years you just expect the Germans and Italians to always get out of jail at the last minute.

Refreshing to see them both nowhere near the last 16.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I did not see a tournament like this for the Germans coming.

Waiting to read the comments of the bundeliga goo chuggers

Refs continue to be incompetent. Fastest ever World Cup yellow card given (0'13") in #MEXSWE for an elbow to the back of the head when it was actually a clash of heads.

Another German campaign in Russia ends in disaster
