The World Cup football match against Costa Rica was a rollercoaster ride of emotions for the fans of the German national team in a bar in Berlin.

“In the end we deserved to be eliminated “

But many were sceptical even before the elimination – like 27-year-old Eric Warncke. He says of the elimination:

“Nobody expected Japan to win against Spain. But in the end we deserved to be eliminated, you have to admit, and that has been confirmed in the last few years and again this time, so I’m disappointed, but somehow I was expecting it again.

After his 121st match in the national team, Thomas Müller spoke of enormous disappointment and that in the end the efficiency had not been good enough to pull off the miracle.

“The effort the team put in was tremendous. In the end, the efficiency wasn’t good enough to pull off the miracle. It’s a powerless feeling. The disappointment is enormous. “GER WM2022 pic.twitter.com/87NXIshB0P

Michael Schreiber so I will still watch the one or other game, but my interest in the World Cup will not be greater or lesser just because the DFB selection has been eliminated. “

Because of the calls for a boycott against the host country Qatar, the mood was not so good. Germany’s early elimination fits into the picture.

Football fan Sebastian Fichte sees the elimination of the German national team as a kind of symbol for the current situation: “The external circumstances were already bad. This World Cup is part of the whole world. The political situation sucks. “
