Twitter Explodes as Germany Collapse to Crash Out of the 2018 World Cup in the Group Stage

Germany are out of the World Cup at the group stage. Germany have never been knocked out of the World Cup at the group stage before. Germany won the World Cup

Germany are out of the World Cup at the group stage. Germany have never been knocked out of the World Cup at the group stage before. Germany won the World Cup four years ago. South Korea scored TWICE in injury time - one offside call overturned by VAR - to confirm Joachim Löw and co's plane tickets home. 

Normally, I'd try to arrange this in some kind of chronological order - to tell some kind of story. But everything exploded in about two minutes at the end, so this is going to reflect that.

Just don't mention the VAR. I did once, but I think I got away with it.

If only there was a German word to describe the pleasure I feel at another’s misfortune 🤔

This lad, from exactly one week ago, looks very silly and should feel bad. 

Unpopular opinion a couple of days ago but soon to be popular: this is the worst World Cup of all time.

Oh, and Manuel Neuer decided to leave his goal and play in midfield after the first goal went in. Did I mention that?

Neuer literally playing in midfield now. Greatest World Cup ever.

Huh. Löw *did* tear them apart
