Germany is eliminated from the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.

For many fans, however, the team is not the worst part of the evening.

Munich

- that's it.

Out of.

Over.

The German national team was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup after the group stage.

Even a 4-2 victory in the final group game against Costa Rica was not enough for the DFB team to make it into the round of 16 at the World Cup.

The simultaneous victory of the Japanese against Spain made the German game a waste of time.

DFB-Aus: ARD commentator Gottlob leaves no good hair on the German national team

The DFB-Elf also showed a decent game against Costa Rica over long stretches and showed morale when they converted the interim 1-2 deficit into a 4-2 win.

The majority of German fans also recognized this on social networks and were much more bothered by another topic, as reported by tz.de:

The performance of ARD commentator Gerd Gottlob.

For many fans, Gottlob's criticism of Germany was excessive.

Here are some examples:

DFB-Aus: Fans protect the team

  • "The weakest thing today wasn't #TheTeam, it was the commentator.

    He only ever spoke of an even deeper low point and that in the 60th minute.

    Later, after three minutes into overtime, realized that there were ten minutes of it.

    That was nothing, Mr. Gottlob.”

  • "Catastrophic reporting by moderator Gerd Gottlob.

    The boys played really well and deserved to win.

    What is the extreme bad-doing of the young team?

    It's a sport and it's not a bunch of cucumbers that are on the pitch."

  • "Against Gerd Gottlob, Bela #Rethy would have been a real mood cannon today.

    Of course, none of the games were world champions, but for me #TheTeam didn't deserve to be put down by a commentator like that..."

In fact, in the last 30 minutes of the game, Gottlob had repeatedly pointed out that he would be eliminated again in a World Cup preliminary round after 2018.

And that despite the fact that the DFB-Elf showed morale and turned the game in the final phase.

DFB-Aus: Gottlob does without information from the Spain game

Furthermore, many fans had the feeling that Gottlob himself didn't always know exactly in which case Germany would still make it into the World Cup round of 16.

In the admittedly complicated group constellation, the commentator was reluctant to announce how many goals Germany would still need if the parallel game ended in a draw.

In fact, a 3-2 win would have been enough for Germany if Spain had managed to equalize 2-2.

In general, in the final phase, Gottlob completely refrained from telling the viewer what was happening in the parallel game.

It remains unclear whether this was due to the fact that ARD did not have any live broadcasting rights for this game, or whether Gottlob himself simply lost track.

DFB-Aus: Gottlob criticizes the team strongly

When Germany was finally eliminated from the World Cup, Gottlob began a last scolding for the DFB team.

Again and again, the ARD commentator spoke of a "renewed low point" and dismantled the team into its individual parts.
