8. South Korea shock the Champions
Germany has had a nightmare of a World Cup. But all they need to do is defeat little South Korea to progress to the Round of 16. Joachim Löw has made some shock changes for this game, leaving out German mainstays like Mesut Özil and Thomas Müller.
Germany has had plenty of chances to make the breakthrough but its still level. Mats Hummels, in particular, has had a few good headers go just wide. The Germans are knocking on the door. But as time goes by you feel like maybe it’ll happen.
Maybe for the first time ever, Germany will not make it out of their group. Sweden has won their game against Mexico 3-0, so all Germany needs to do is score a goal. But deep into stoppage time chaos occurs.
South Korea take the lead via Kim Young-Gwon, but as he reels away in celebration the linesman calls it offside. VAR supplied the World Cup with some crazy moments and this might top the bunch. After checking, the referee awards South Korea the goal.
The Koreans are on the verge of one of their greatest ever World Cup wins. Germany still continues to press on afterward. Manuel Neuer has the ball deep in South Korea's half before being dispossessed by Ju Se-jong who launches the ball forward to Son Heung-min. He slots it into the empty net to seal Germany's faith.
Germany had 28 shots but to no avail. For the first time ever, Germany will not be making it past the group stage.
