Four groups have completed their group play of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. During this third and final match of the group stage, all four teams in each group play simultaneously. This help prevent match fixing by teams and players, stemming back to an incident during the 1982 World Cup.

Why do the teams play at the same time?

In the final match of group play that year, Germany and Austria played each other. Algeria was also in their group and had won its third match the day prior. A win by Austria or a draw would have seen Austria and Algeria advance. But a win by Germany would have sent Germany and Austria through.

Germany took a 1-0 lead early in the match. After that, both the Austirans and the Germans merely passed the ball around with no apparent desire to score. It was a lazy match that resulted in boos and the subsequent scheduling change.

South Korea 2 – 0 Germany

Germany out of the World Cup after South Korea upset

Germany got surprised by Mexico in the first match and again today against South Korea. Two losses not only means Germany does not advance, but they come in last in the group.

Both of South Korea's goals came in stoppage time. Young-Gwon's rebound after a corner was originally ruled as offside. But after video replay, the VAR determined it was a good goal.

On the attack to salvage a draw and a standings point, Germany pressed everyone, including the keeper. South Korea took advantage with a long ball. Heung Min Son was deep in an onside position to chase it down and put it into the empty net.
