Joachim Low's team has crashed since the group phase extremely sensationalally after losing 2-0 to South Korea, as in three matches it collected only three points.
Germany, the world champion in power, was among the favourites to win and defend the title in Russia, and Olic R.C., who spent 12 years playing a career in Germany, admits that it has been difficult for him to understand the elimination of Germans.
