Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans get eliminated from the World Cup!

Muahahahahahahahahaha!

(Seriously, though, it's always terrible to get eliminated, but I'm happy Japan is through.)

Congrats to the AFC for squeaking three underdog countries into the knockout tournament (Australia, Japan, South Korea). Australia barely made it in at all.

It could be worse. You can fail to qualify. Twice in row.

One of the better World Cup group stages, lots of great upsets so far.
Also no team won 3 out of 3 games.

I still can’t believe Australia made it through.

For all the moany pants fans, and especially the media, statistically England the best qualifiers
The football and tight groups has been excellent thus far

It is INSANE Japan won that group! I have no idea what is going on there. How far are they going to go!?

Group E was definitely the Group of Death this year. Even Costa Rica was putting in good work those last two matches. They beat Japan, which neither Spain nor Germany could do!

Also no team won 3 out of 3 games.

Yeah, and only 5 teams didn't lose a game. Funnily enough, there were also only 5 teams that didn't win at least one game. And three of those managed to pull a tie.

If you ask me, I hope it's their last win in this cup
