Notes About The Poem

Germany crashes
SK's clean sheet not enough. . .
both teams headed home

***
Poet's notes:

South Korea have beaten Germany in a World Cup match for the first time, having lost each of the previous two meetings in the competition.

This was South Korea's first clean sheet at the World Cup since a 2-0 win over Greece in 2010; they had gone eight without a shutout before this match.

This is only the second time that Germany have been eliminated from the First Round at the World Cup having last done so in 1938- however, this is the first time it has happened when the First Round has been in a group stage format.

Germany's tally of two goals scored at this World Cup is the second fewest managed by a defending champion in competition, only ahead of France's zero in 2002.
