Germany eliminated from the World Cup Russia 2018: Boateng's heartbreaking posts on Facebook.

He will never forget that pain, the one that eats away at his soul. From world champions to a shame that will be talked about forever in Germany. 80 years ago they were not eliminated. In other words, it was impossible to see a German selection out of the round of 16. But just as they made history in Brazil 2014, they also did it in Russia 2018. Therefore, Jerome Boateng used his Facebook account to apologize to millions of people.

"What a disaster! Unfortunately, the World Cup was not as we had imagined. I still feel angry and disappointed, and at the same time, I feel sorry for the fans who supported us at the stadium and at home in front of the television. We had our chances, but we never played well in the tournament," said the Bayern player on his Facebook account, and continued with the message to the entire German people.

"Four years ago we were at the top, now we have fallen brutally. These are the days in the life of a football player that no one is jealous of. However, thank you for the support, we will analyze the mistakes and continue working for ourselves and for you. I promise that we will come back stronger," concluded the German national team.

The ability to analyze catastrophes and failures to extract lessons is a cultural trait in Germany.

Elimination in the group stage of the 2004 European Championship brought about a real revolution: Jürgen Klinsmann arrived and changed everything in the team, bringing innovative ideas about training, tactics, physical and mental preparation of the Mannschaft internationals.

Löw, who was his assistant, continued in that vein in 2006 and since then Germany had reached at least the semifinals in all major tournaments, something they did not even come close to in Russia.

The 2014 World Cup title serves to greatly mitigate grandiose conclusions about Löw's role, and the players seem to support their coach without reservation.
