Germany Out Of The World Cup As They Lose To South Korea

The unthinkable has happened - Germany, reigning world champions, the consummate tournament team, are out of the World Cup. 

Their failure to beat South Korea on Wednesday afternoon, combined with Sweden's comfortable win over Mexico, saw Joachim Low's men exit Russia at the group stage - their first World Cup elimination at this point for 80 years. 

Sweden won the group by beating Mexico 3-0 in the other match taking place at the same time, meaning Germany needed to defeat South Korea to get through in second place. 

However South Korea won 2-0 thanks to two goals in second half stoppage time as Germany desperately pushed forwards to try and find a winner.
