DFB-Elf verliert im letzten Gruppenspiel gegen Südkorea mit 2:0, nachdem sie schon zuvor nur mit Bayern-Dusel das Spiel gegen Schweden mit 2:1 durch ein Tor in der 95. Minute gewinnen konnten, die erste Gruppenpartie gegen Mexico haben sie sogar mit 1:0 verloren.
Als Gruppenletzter dürfen sie nun ihren Hut nehmen.

Today it's only less the slave to the nations which want to emphasize the superiority over other nations through that, today it's more the slave to pure commercialism.
If the sports department is attractive enough in potential bargain, you can bet your ass on that it's gonna be contaminated with sports medicine that includes doping.
Why? 'Cause there is so much to win, so much money to earn for those who lend and rent the marketing rights...
In that point, partly you'll need the business from the Western areas of the world, but partly you won't that much. Within their own sphere, they are a money machine, but compared to others, meanwhile, due to being so much subject only for money-making, they may suck a lot because those have their own "quality requirements" in their spheres to make money.

So, don't tell me there's no will to push for that result with whatever means possible.
