Germany was eliminated yesterday (Thursday) from the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar, after beating Costa Rica, but finished in third place at home due to goal difference.
The Manchester United, who came to the big tournament with great expectations, lost to Japan in the opening game and that is what sealed their fate in the end.
Even before going up to play the opening match, the German team started a protest against the host country, when the players posed for the traditional group photo with their hands over their mouths - after they were forbidden to go up to play with a captain's armband in the colors of pride.
The Qataris, who did not like the Germans' protest, celebrated their expulsion today on a local channel.
In a television panel, local broadcasters are seen waving goodbye, and putting their hands over their mouths - just like in the famous picture.
