Die Mannschaft 2018

Alright never knew my World Cup fangirling would end this early

But yeap, it just did.

Disappointed and all but I think credits should still be given to the players for all the hard work they’ve done throughout the years - not just this one tournament or three games but the years back since they played and won matches after matches 

It was painful to watch them struggle to goal and even defend - especially the latter cause that was what they were so so good at previously 

You can’t help but wonder what went wrong and why it wasn’t rectified but I guess it takes time and such a sudden exit is a sufficient wake up call for them to restrategize the team

And of all the criticisms and people who take the opportunity to slam them, this appears to be the fairest review of all:

Meanwhile, winning and losing with Germany turns out to be a life lesson for me as well - y’all are still my childhood heroes so thank you team 💕
 
dont wanna say this but i kinda miss this 2010 squad with so many of the old guards i watched growing up - every four years haha :)

But in any case
They can do this and they will be back 🇩🇪 💪

 The lucky goal Kroos and Reus did was still amazing nonetheless :)
