Germany finally had to swallow a bitter pill in the 2018 World Cup. In the game do or die face South Korea, Wednesday (27/06/2018), Germany even lost 0-2 (0-0). Both South Korea goals scored in injury time, respectively by Young-Gwon Kim and Totenham Hotspurs star Heung Min Son. This defeat immediately put Germany out in the World Cup. In fact, they only won a goal, because at the same time, Mexico beaten Sweden 0-3. This fact also made the World Cup champion's curse, which has continued in a row since World Cup 2010. The curse is: previous World Cup winners are always eliminated in the group stage. In the 2010 World Cup held in South Africa, Italy, who had the status of previous World Cup champion, the World Cup in 2006, stalled in the preliminary round. In fact, when Italy was in a relatively 'light' group, with Paraguay, Slovakia, and New Zealand. Instead of escaping, Italy instead status as caretaker group. Then, in the 2014 World Cup, Spain who status as World Cup champion in 2010, also stalled in the group stage. Spain only ranked 3rd in Group B, a group inhabited by the Netherlands, Chile, and Australia. The turn of the 2018 World Cup Russia, Germany, who won the 2014 World Cup title, stalled in the group stage. Tragically, the team dubbed Panzer Team is actually ending the gait in the 2018 World Cup with the status of the group's caretaker! (*)
