Germans were on Wednesday evening shocked after their team was knocked out the World Cup tournament currently going on in Russia.
The team could not find a way past a stubborn South Korea and were dealt a huge blow deep into extra time when the Asians scored twice to eliminate the defending champions in group stages.
Fans across the globe reacted to the defeat, with many unable to come to terms on how a European soccer powerhouse could lose such an important fixture.
The Germany embassy in Nairobi joined the 'mourning', and they shared a photo of their national flag raised half-mast as a symbol of the tragic turn of events in Russia.
Fans joined the conversation, with many mocking the Germans for their underwhelming performance.
Germany has not had the best of tournament, and their frailty was exposed in their first two matches, where they lost to Mexico in the opening fixture before a Toni Kroos freekick gave them a slim win against Sweden in their second fixture.
The team suffered what has in the past befallen defending champions, who have found the going tough in tournaments preceding their previous wins.
