Team Germany disgraced the World Cup.

"Bundestim" in the 3rd round of the group stage of the world championship suffered an unexpected defeat from South Korea with a score of 0: 2. Thus, having lost two meetings out of three possible, the Germans for the first time in their history failed to reach the playoffs of Mundial. In 1934, they stopped the fight in the 1/8 finals, flying from Switzerland. Interestingly, Germany four times became the strongest team on the planet - 1954, 1974, 1990, 2014. In 2010 and 2006, they were content with 3rd place.

Moreover, at the World Cup 2018, the current world champions finished on the 4th line, skipping ahead even South Korea.

The reasons for this was the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Syria, poisoning in the UK ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal, fasting Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsova and systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the release of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

2015 Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-regime colony. The actions in support of the director were held all over the world, including in Russia.
