Bottom line: Morocco beat TWO teams that Germany didn't ( or couldn't ) beat. End result... Morocco advances and Germany goes home.

Germany played a very, very physical game and avoided being called three or four times for fairly obvious fouls. As a group, Germany was taller and a step faster, but Korea played very well and had excellent defense. They were determined and unintimidated. Props to them.

@@KenUbeleveit1 So if we work backwards from today's draw with South Korea, the loss to Colombia, the first round win over Morocco, and that last, 'tune-up" game loss with Zambia, we see Germany has won just a single match in all 4 recent international matches. I think it paints a broad picture of systemic failure for Germany.

The Ozil curse lives on

Morocco as the first time qualified to wc was surprised by the environment at the first match!!! But with competition, they became stronger!!! I hope that Beautiful Morocco will beat France as a revenge for last men semi final in Qatar.

The problem here is that as their first match ever in this kind of tournament, Morocco developped a weakness, but after the first match they realized that they can do better and they did.

I’ve never seen a team rattled like Germany was and it showed. It was probably the most aggressive match I seen at these games and they were lucky didn’t receive more yellow cards than the one. USA presenters still don’t get it that the gulf between developing nations and the establish countries in sport has shrank. Its happened in other sports like swimming and gymnastics for example were America was dominate for so long. This is good for the sport. Yes it’s been shocking to see four the top ten ranked teams exit competition. The more these players in developing countries get the exposure playing in some the top leagues in the world it will only benefit their national teams.

I watched the match (for a large part) on the German broadcast (I'm from the Netherlands). The German commentators were to stunned to give any reaction at all. There was the obligatory analysis, but they had to let it sink in to really understand what just had happened. For them it's the next chapter in the decline of German football. The men's team were out in the group stage two WC's in a row, the men's youth team (under 21) didn't make it out of the group stage, and now this.

But they didn’t concede that many goals. One in stoppage time, at the last second of the game basically (lack of focus I would say), and one today on an offside misalignment. I would say, it’s their midfield that is weak. I can’t say that I saw anyone other than Oberdorf. They were completely unable to construct plays. Knowing they were out, they had 70+ minutes to score 2 goals, and at no point you felt any sense of urgency. They just could not produce any play.

Strange how critics being so analytical about football as if powerful teams are always entitled to win. That's the beauty of the game.., when guts and heart prevail over best laid plans on paper. Shattering expectations is why the game is so dynamic.

Germany is a strong team but it has a very predictable machine like play. One can almost predict what each player will do. As a result, they get opportunities but they are not necessarily easy to convert. They have an incomparable striker in Popp but she never had a high quality opportunity. This is partly what happened to the U.S. in their game against Portugal. They lacked the patience in the final third. Sometimes an extra pass or dribble is needed to further open up a defense. A clinical finish is not always possible especially against a spirited defense.

منتخب المانيا منتخب قوي هذي حقيقة ولكن وقع في فخ فوز على منتخبنا ب 6 ذهبا بعيدا تفكير في نهائي وهذا خطأ

This world cup has shown the top teams that the landscape of the women's game has changed going forward......

This is the year of teams playing "Prevent Action" thus low scoring games... boring in the 18, lots of "knocking it around" at about the 30... High scores does NOT equate to great ball, but come on... powerful teams NEED to find ways to counter the "Prevent Action" so that type of play goes away!

Ozil's curse

Of course there were signs, they sucked in about all their matches this year. The young players, while performing quite well at the Euro, failed here and haven't really been doing very well in the matches leading up to the WC. Maybe they need more experience, but maybe some of them just don't have the quality. It's sad for Popp, Doorsoun and Hegering who played well and for whom this most likely was the last world cup.

This is real sporting competition, where there is knock out, relegation and promotion etc. Basically you have one bad match you lose everything. This doesn’t happen in America where sport is a business. .

I am German and I feared this would bei coming. If you compared the German team to, say, the French or English or the Japanese team, you would have to say that you need more ways to score goals than Alex Popp's head. Also, passing, enthusiasm/ being on fire are missing/ not up there. Hegering played extremely well, too, but it wasnt enuff...

German players have to learn again how to think on their own. They have been taught to do whatever the coach tells them, but they don't think for themselves, they have no mentally tools to handle solutions, the coach hasn't prepared them too. If a team does not react the way they were told, they are helpless. And yes, they need to remember it takes more than Alex Popp to win a game. Australia had to learn the same when Sam Kerr was missing for 4 matches and they figured this out.

There has been something very "yucky" about most of the big teams in women's european football over the last 12-18 months. This includes Spain, France and Germany. Something just feels off about them. The US is the same but I haven't watched a lot of them.

I think, especially in Europe, the pro teams get so involved in preparing for the Champions League title that the international championships (WC and Olympics) become less important. The bi-annual events become more like All-Star get togethers than full bore competitions. The only exception being the Euros. Even those games, especially the qualifiers are sometimes optional for some players. As a fan, I would watch 1) Champion's League (thanks DAZN!), 2a) World Cup, 2b) Euros, and the heck with Olympics.
