Although The Armchair correctly predicted that Germany would not win World Cup 2018, he thought they would win their group. The fact that they finished bottom shows what a disastrous tournament it’s been for the holders, now perhaps the too olders. That’s 4 times out of the last 5 tournaments that the holders have gone out in the group stage. Some kind of curse at work. But bad form going into the tournament, and no Lahm, Schweinsteiger and, vitally, Klose, condemned the Germans to their worst tournament finish since 1938. Managers don’t survive this sort of failure, nor many players. Expect wholesale changes afore Euro 2020.
