Germany's 2-1 defeat against Ecuador was a real surprise, especially in today's match, where most people had bet on Germany. Ecuador qualified for the round of 32 with a win in today's match and their great performance helped them beat the strong Germany. Germany tried hard to equalize in this match but they could not succeed in their efforts and had to leave the field with a loss. Most gamblers lost bets on this match today, they had bet more on Germany to win but it was a surprise at the last minute. However, Germany did not attack so strongly in this match because they had already qualified, so they did not have much interest in this match.
Those who are smart gamblers did not bet on germany winning this match. There was no doubt that germany was very strong. Even the fact that Germany would lose this match was unthinkable and unexpected. One of the reasons for avoiding betting on this match is that this match was not important for Germany. They were able to qualify for the knockout round long ago by winning the first two matches. It was also certain that Germany would qualify for the next round from the top of the table. So it is natural that they will not give their full effort to win this less important match. Even then, it is difficult to accept that a giant team like Germany will lose against Ecuador.
Games like these are always tricky because Germany already secured a spot in the knockout stage, and they were not taking any risks with having a rotation policy to keep their players fresh. This did not work for them, and Ecuador took good advantage to give their best for securing their spot in the knockout as well.
German performance was not good against Ivory Coast as well, but still they managed to win, but in this game they were playing not as they did against Ivory Coast, and at the end they pay the price for this as well, but still they are at the top of their group with the most chances they will have an opponent, which could be not challenging for them, and their spot is going to be cemented for the round of 16.
