To be absolutely happy that Germany is OUT

[WallisWindsor]

Eliminated, exit - World Cup
Absolutely thrilled.
That's it!

I always feel sorry for a team when I see them being knocked out, especially if it’s a shock.

Doubt if Germany would commiserate if it was us though tbh.

I will cheer for any team who plays well, with skill, passion and commitment.

So yes, I'm glad they are out.

Why?

I’m not the OP but for me it’s simply enjoyable to be able to celebrate some of the bigger names going out. It makes for a far more interesting tournament. I will be equally as pleased if Brazil go out later on.

I'm in Germany and sad for the team and everyone here, but quite honestly they're deservedly out. (A PP is right about them not being arrogant, though. Wish the same could be said for the German tabloids. There was a horrible, borderline racist front page in one regional one I spotted today)

I like World Cups with turn-ups for the books.

Oh dear, are you also chanting "two world wars and one world cup, do dah, do dah" while owning tattooed knuckles, a bulldog and fine selection of St George's flag bunting

Now that’s offensive. Do cricket and rugby fans get the same stereotyping insults or is that reserved for football fans?

No german I’ve ever known has been devestated at England being knocked out of the World Cup, I’m sure they’re not expecting us to be round with the Kleenex today.

I was looking forward to watching it later - thanks for the spoiler alert

Why on earth would you expect a spoiler alert for a sports result?

To be fair if you want to avoid scores, I think some onus is on you to avoid social media

but it is xenophobia... and so very very nasty
But doesn't the whole competition generally descend into xenohpobia easily anyway?....
Germany is the UK's traditional footballing rival so there is likely to be some, er, schadenfreude at its exit. Meh.

There’s a well documented rivalry at the World Cup between our two nations that usually ends up with us on our arse.

I don't think Germans are bothered by the English. They benchmark themselves against the big boys (Brazil, Spain, France).

It's like Scotland caring about England but England not bothering with Scotland.

Ivorbig1 Dumb question!

Bugger. They were my work sweepstake bet.....

Whilst I am not revelling in their defeat - frankly a bit of me think they have won more than their fair share of occasions (4 times?) and as the pundits said, have consistently got beyond the group stage for the last 80 years...so I am quite satisfied that they get to experience the dashed hopes that England has had to shoulder on so many occasions - its seems like a fair rebalancing (whilst at the same time I feel a teeny bit sorry for them - hate to see weeping fans).

I'm not happy as my Dad put money on them so I'm sad for him

It's like Scotland caring about England but England not bothering with Scotland

100% accurate comparison

Jacques - I am also hoping for Brazil to go out. Its good to ring the changes

IT'S COMING HOME

I have it on full blast..............

Its good to ring the changes

Absolutely. The next round of matches is looking very interesting

I love this world cup because of these upsets. Makes for a very interesting viewing. My heart goes out to the German fans, though.

Can anyone explain to me why the goal keeper wasn't in goal?

"IT'S COMING HOME"

Unlikely.

I've got a mental image of Jurgen Klopp and his bessie David Wagner crying into their steins right now.

Can anyone explain to me why the goal keeper wasn't in goal?

Playing as an extra out field player.

I do hope your comments are not racist!

Fuck off.

Funny how people go on about the word "schadenfreude" being German, saying that is very telling about the German character.
