As South Korea opened the scoring, Germany knew their fate was sealed – disaster had struck. If it wasn’t the opening goal, Son Heung-min’s goal to give South Korea their second was the final nail in the coffin. It was curtains. Twitter exploded within no time of Germany’s exit.
As Die Mannschaft caved in, world would have seemed to be tumbling for Germans. They were left shell shocked and in disbelief. They weren’t alone though.
This is how people reacted to their early exit:
Trump it’s me, Angela.

Germany though showed their class with few of the tweets from their official handle
Your support across the globe was incredible. We celebrated together in 2014, but sometimes in football you have to accept defeat and admit that your opponents were better.
Congrats to #SWE and #MEX, and of course to #KOR on their win.
Thanks to Russia for your hospitality! pic.twitter.com/g5yrMtl3GS

As humble as ever in defeat
Dear fans, we feel just as disappointed as you. The World Cup only comes around every four years and we expected so much more from us. We’re sorry for not playing like world champions, and as painful as it is, we deserve to be out…

As much as it hurts to bow out this early, congratulations to #SWE and #MEX. We wish you good luck in the knockouts 👏 pic.twitter.com/6gbNpePRTm
