Photos: Germany’s stunned reaction to its World Cup exit

Reigning World Cup champion Germany has been knocked out of the tournament in its earliest stage.

A painful 2-0 loss to South Korea today (June 27) in Kazan, Russia inspired shock, dejection, and incredulous reactions from German fans and the national team’s players. All this after Germany had to deal with the shame of Auftaktniederlage—a “loss in the first game of a competition”  vs. Mexico.
