“They [Germany] had many top players, and they’re a young team that is always among the best in a World Cup.

“It is surprising that they were out again in the first round, but that shows how difficult the World Cup is.

“It is no longer the name of the national team that matters, but what you see on the pitch. Everything is becoming more and more equal.”

    Certainly this year’s World Cup Games came with a lot of surprises. Germany team did not qualify for the round of sixteen. It is a pity.Other top rated teams too did not progress to quarter finals as well. Let us keep our fingers crossed till the last four.I wish the victorious teams more luck in their future Games.
