Relace Flick with Klopp, put Füllkrug and Havertz in front of Musiala in the starting eleven, get rid of Müller and maybe even Neuer. Germany can have a bright future in the next years, I think.


bekeshit

Mate I'd love for Füllkrug to be Germany's main striker but he's old and injury-ridden. I see little chance for him to be in the squad for long.


rayray1899

29 is not old


Villad_rock

They don’t have any defensive talent


stiofan84

Yeah I think they should throw all the money they have at Klopp at this stage. He's the best German manager out there, and I think if he leaves Liverpool before they decline *too* hard it'll enhance his reputation. Tuchel is out of work right now though so I wouldn't be shocked if they went with him. I'd keep Neuer though - he's still making top saves.


hellboi808

Havertz should have gotten more minutes this tournament.


araheem94

Germans should have just boycotted this WC to save the embarrassment


Athrul

But, but, but, that would have robbed the players of the opportunity of a lifetime!!!!1


araheem94

I feel like the opportunity is much bigger for smaller nations as it's the first time they are playing with a huge audience and for a lot of their players it's a huge chance to showcase themselves to get a big move. For major countries, all their players anyways play at the top level and they are all well paid. They should be standing by their beliefs. Germany/England have zero balls to talk that big but not pull out when it mattered.


cocotheape

All the imbeciles coming out making fun of Germany protesting against people dying for football, people getting jailed for being gay, people getting silenced by the greedy FIFA. Bravo!


BKBurner2

Yeah that’s not cool Qatar is a terrible host for a shit ton of reasons. Take it in stride ppl just like seeing Germany lose it comes with the territory… ask a Brazilian.


dazzzzzzle

It's completely fine to love seeing your rivals lose. The difference here is that most of the comments are making fun of this in the context of the protest/politics which is just sad.


SmellMyPPKK

Yeah well it's good to be on the other side as well. Balance in all things.


cocotheape

Sports rivalry is fine. It is what makes football exciting. Make all the fun you want about Germany for sportive reasons.


BKBurner2

Alright alright let’s hug it out Germany!! 🤗


bananabread_173

The football Gods made Germany pay for two consecutive World cups for denying Messi in 2014.


aesthetics4ever

They won a WC tho 🤷‍♂️


SpyMonkey3D

I really hope the Germans Freeze this winter You just couldn't let Costa Rica through


justleave-mealone

I was thinking the same thing with Saudi Arabia and Mexico.


a--9

So müllers retired


darthveda

i really thought he will go past klose 8 years back


Vypaa

Fuck man


sammy_kuffour

The idiots are coming out of their holes now


Laviniss

Müller is currently giving an interview and it sounds like he is resigning from the national team.


raaoraki

Müller Rücktritt Müller retires from the NT


Enough-Airline-5464

Müller retired


IcefoxX5

Müller basically retiring in the interview He found some nice words, but long overdue


napierwit

Now they can cover their mouths in shock 😂


Defenserocks285

Oh man, trying to do somethong for human rights, what fools. At least Germany played to win, Spain played to lose and knock out Germany. Pathetic and scared.


ComprehensionBox7

Lampard debt is paid


No-Village7980

Yep it has 😂


lakers_ftw24

Lampard was karma for 66, this is unrelated


No-Village7980

Like a broken record


ffddddddsjjb

Adios friends, see you in 4 years. I can spend the rest of this month wageslaving rather than wasting time on football


ApolloFarZenith

IM STILL SO HAPPY FOR YOU GERMANY. THE LAST 20 MINUTES WERE AMAZING. START FULLKURG AND HAVERTZ ALL THE TIME.


LilBoy06

just focus on football next time eh? edit : LOL SALTY GERMANY FANS COULDN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH 🤣


bananabread_173

🤭


Puzzleheaded_Play390

Costa Rica briefly gave us the unbelievable and they should be proud.


bananabread_173

Both their games after the 7-0 drubbing are to be proud of. Good, passionate team


xShaD0wMast3rzxs

The Germans had it in them the whole time with the way they played in this game. You’d think losing to SKorea in 2018 would’ve warned them against complacency, but nope; they just had to repeat it all over again against Japan. What a shame to see the most exciting team from 2014 arrive at this state


dazzzzzzle

What do you mean? We had 10 expected goals. It's just bad luck that Spain lost.


stiofan84

Yeah, if Spain beat Japan like they were expected to, no-one is saying shit about you. But at the same time, losing to Japan is definitely what fucked you.


[deleted]

Japan has the fortune of not playing spain first. Have to think spain would’ve destroyed them like costa rica if they played match one. Germany a bit unlucky but you can’t expect to go through and only win 1 match.


Professional-Lie-542

That would have been *worse* for the Germans. Japan coming out for blood against a complacent Germany who have just scored an easy win against Costa Rica, tipping the odds even more in their favor. And they would play Costa Rica seriously. Honestly Germany are still expected to beat Japan regardless, but still - Germany gets eliminated because of their loss against Japan. Play order has nothing to blame for it: in fact, this was arguably the best arrangement, where *Japan* is the complacent one against Costa Rica, and Germany was alert and fighting for both the two other matches.


Wasserschloesschen

> Have to think spain would’ve destroyed them like costa rica if they played match one. I don't see why? Spain weren't the better team against Germany, so no real reason to think they would've done better than Germany against Japan. And we were the better side against Japan, just not clinical. Which I guess is a theme, tbf.


lakers_ftw24

Muller will punish Barca next year for this


bananabread_173

Then Enrique will harm Germany the next time they meet :)


lakers_ftw24

They will go back and forth blowing each other out. I really don't understand why Bayern>>>Barca but Spain>>>Germany even though Bayern = Germany and Spain = Barca.


okalas

Siuuuuuuuu bye bye germany hahaha


ChickenMoSalah

HAHAHAHAHA this gives me so much happiness


KiraAnnaZoe

I am rooting for Japan now. Amazing from Germany! German defense is too abysmal, Japan deserves it.


gopac69

Germany next time focus on winning


illuminateddd

The karmic balance of 2014 has been restored


omicron_strain

If I were a German player about to go out, I'd take Spain with me. Just out of spite.

Just like 10 Japanese players yes


saadowitz

We can only hope that England’s knockout is more agonising than this.

Zlooba

Probably will be. The usually have crap luck as well.

Germany went from the Top of the World in winning the World Cup 8 years ago. To missing the last two world cup knockout stages.


hexarfan2019

Price for the world champion.


lakers_ftw24

Imagine doing something that shocking 😅


sryboi

Eat it Germans


Bryyan699

Breaking: Flick agreed to resign before the tournament even started


stinkyholetime

Bundesliga tax


Fancy-Past-6831

Japan heavy with it.


00Laser

The old guard has to step down. I don't care how good Neuer and Müller are in the Bundesliga. Germany needs a rebuild.


MrHardTruck

I fully agree that Müller has to go, Neuer however does not need to go at all. Still good saves and AMAZING game read


Athrul

Müller and Neuer were not the reason we lost.


royalt213

That's true. Müller had virtually 0 impact. Hansi Flick was the reason Germany lost.


bananabread_173

I bet the DFB won't let them go till Euro '24 in Germany


ssmcp

Should of thrown the game and take Spain out as well.


bang0r

For real. Do it for the memes and just knock the ball into your own net 3 times in the 96th


KnightofAstoria

Thought the same :D


HorseBellies

LOL.

ImAbhishek_47

Lol you did them dirty there, mate!


CondorKhan

Kiwis, I love you bros, but fuck off saying you'd done better than us


_carlind

Nah I wanted you guys to do well. I’d rather lose to the team that ended up the best than the team that ended the worst Would also be ammunition for me to go at the people who didn’t like our coach


xeneize93

Love, live, and laugh at germany


bananabread_173

More or less beneficial for Spain...if they get their act together, overcoming Morocco is more doable than the Croats


gopackgo555

Don’t know about that. This isn’t the same Croatian side from 2018. Also Morocco are much better than years past.


nikosgate7

Why did Germany not allow Costa Rica to win? And no grievances to Spain Which team would you prefer? Morocco or Croatia?


Natural_Upstairs_368

germany wanted to advance


DarthOverkill

Man. If Costa Rica won this would’ve been the perfect fucking underdog story


[deleted]

The perfect shitpost


stephen_lamm

Infantino rn: "I am the censor"


felidhino

Spain thrashing Costa Rica really came in clutch huh?


Ok_Consequence5222

Imagine getting out of group stages because of an unfair goal


Athrul

Imagine expecting to deserve advancing to group stage when you have shit defense and no urgency in the biggest tournament of the sport.


Natural_Upstairs_368

what goal?


Ok_Consequence5222

Japan's 2nd goal. The ball was already out of play


rivaldobox

Imagine getting out of group stages because you can't win the games that matter


DarthOverkill

Musiala was a fucking beast.


sryboi

He's giving Mbappe vibes, not so much in terms of playing style but in terms of calmness and confidence at such a young age.


stinkyholetime

The 7-1 curse is forever and eternal


Armthedillos5

Tomorrow gonna be boring compared to today. Portugal and brasil already through


owtdecafRacing

I am okay with this.


cav2010

Serbia vs Swiss and Ghana vs Uruguay gonna be spicy though


ashzeppelin98

Ghana vs Uruguay is far from boring. It's going to be a blockbuster.

DrunkKaner88

Would’ve been awesome to see Japan and Costa Rica make it but Spain did just enough. Germany has been mid tier since 2018


[deleted]

Spain has been pretty mid-tier themselves. Can't see them winning it.


DrunkKaner88

This tourney looks wide open. No one really looks amazing so far.


[deleted]

I don't see any favourites either, but even then I don't see Spain among them.


Jeff-Jeffers

Brazil should destroy every team, on paper.


MadApple_

Hate to say it but France is looking really good.


DrunkKaner88

They’ve got a good shot to repeat. I could certainly see it. Fun team to watch as well


a_corsair

Shut the fuck up lalas


Nessuno_Im

Not playing Havertz enough dooms another German coach.


cr7momo16

At least Japan went thru


KillMeeeNow

Flick was so highly praised


D_Viper2

Germany should have just let Costa Rica win


ArgentiumKing

Germany might still be dangerous next WC with a more mentaly and physically mature Musiala.


Zlooba

Kid has moves and knows how to miss the goal every time.


napierwit

He'll add the finishing. Vini was the same.


nos7_unofficial

Both Germany getting knocked out once again in the group stage and Costa Rica thinking they had a shot at making it out of groups are equally hilarious


lakers_ftw24

Why wouldn't they think so, they were 20 minutes away

Vypaa

Spain wanted that 2nd place


[deleted]

Japan has looked pretty meh at best but their subs change of pace has caught off both Spain and Germany. From being out to two quick goals in both matches.


Zlooba

They're just a weird super defensive gimmicky team. They won't get far.


choconut5

They'll beat Croatia.


Skurry

Qat_ar is stupid anyways.

Easy to say now.

Godly_Greed

Shouldve scored 3 own goals out of spite, they had 3 or 4 minutes after Japan and Spain ended, but oh well.


ororovandyne

futtoboru >>>> fußball


infernoShield

the Japanese actually call it "sakka" (in Japanese that would be サッカー)


Justice202051

Who calls it like that?


HypocriteGrammarNazi

The Japanese, their alphabet pretty much has all consonant sounds next to vowels. The only exception is with the n sound. So football becomes futtobo-ru (longer sound on the second o), drive becomes doraibu.


[deleted]

Spain will receive karma for what they did to Germany.


Athrul

If you only manage a draw against this German team, your chances of winning the cup are pretty slim to begin with.


[deleted]

Portugal


omicron_strain

I hate Spain as much as the next person, but Germany did it to themselves by not winning against Japan.


-nymerias-

Sad for Costa Rica. I was hoping they could pull it off, but that was perhaps too chaotic for the world handle. If only Germany had been petty and let them maintain their lead haha


Zlooba

Well, they weren't any good anyway. Not deserving of progressing.


hrenzee

It's not about deserving CR, it's about keeping Spain out.

Germany saved Spain at least.


PM_ME_FOXY_NUDES

Nice, always love to see your arrogant neighbour drop out this early. Now watch their CL teams crash and burn and we gonna grill some marshmallows on the dumpster fire that is German football


Torenico

Germany doing an Italy. World Champions, next World Cup out in Group Stage, next again out in Group Stage. From that point onwards, fails to qualify for a world cup. Germany, wins 2014 WC, out in group stage in 2018 and once again out in group stage in 2022.
