German football fans in tears as national team is knocked out the World Cup

Both Germany and South Korea will need to win here to secure their place in the round of 16. Although the defending World Cup champions currently sit in second place in Group F they are still at risk of not making it through to the knockout stage.

Bottom of the group South Korea will need to win this game and hope that Sweden lose to Mexico to be in with a chance of qualifying for the next stage of the tournament.

Last week Germany got a goal five minutes into injury time that lead to them beating Sweden 2-1. Germany will be without defender Jérôme Boateng after he received a second yellow card for a challenge on Swedish striker Marcus Berg. Sebastian Rudy is also expected to miss Wednesday’s game after having suffered a broken nose against Sweden.

Odds

Prediction

Germany are heavy favourites to win this matchup but they are missing a few key players. South Korea have an uphill battle as they would need to win by at least 2 goals in order to make it through to the next round.

Mexico almost had one back, the ball comes in across goal to Hernandez on the far post, he fires it back across goal and it gets a deflection up to Vela who just needed to head it towards goal but he missed it

Oh Germany! That was the chance Hummels should've scored, he was free in the box when the ball came in from Ozil but his header was mistimed and it hits his shoulder and goes wide

Corner for South Korea, Germany are really open at the back now but Sule blocks and shot and gives away a corner,  the corner is poor but the ball comes in Kim Young-sun scores but is he offside?!
