The World Cup title is up for grabs!
Germany will not be able to defend their title in the latter stages of the competition, as their baffling World Cup came to an end thanks to a 2-0 loss against South Korea.
Löw's side will now be remembered as one of the worst defending champions, joining France, Italy and Spain as those who failed to make it to the KO stage in the following tournament.
This was not the only record Germany set with their appalling performance. Have a look.
