On Wednesday, Germany became the third straight defending champions to be bundled out of the World Cup in the group stages. Talk of the World Cup curse.
This came after the reigning champs suffered an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to South Korea.
Germany who became the latest victims of the world cup curse joins France (won in 1998, eliminated in 2002), Italy (won in 2006, eliminated 2010) and Spain (won in 2010, eliminated in 2014)
So if for sure there is a curse and it continues to be at work, whom do you think will be the next victim when Qatar hosts the next edition in 2022?
