[Saba Sports News] In a previous Round of 32 match at the World Cup, Germany was eliminated by Paraguay in a penalty shootout. Shortly afterwards, Germany national team jerseys were heavily discounted on Adidas China’s official website. Germany drew 1-1 with Paraguay in regulation and extra time in the Round of 32 fixture before losing the subsequent penalty shootout and failing to advance. As of now, both Germany’s home and away jerseys are available at a 50% discount on Adidas China’s official store. The authentic home jersey originally priced at 1,099 RMB has been cut to 550 RMB; the replica home jersey dropped from 699 RMB to 350 RMB. The long-sleeve authentic jersey fell from 1,199 RMB to 600 RMB, while the long-sleeve replica jersey went from 799 RMB to 400 RMB. Away jerseys have also been marked down. One replica away jersey was reduced from 699 RMB to 489 RMB, and another replica away jersey saw its price lowered from 549 RMB to 384 RMB.
The editor believes that no one could have predicted that the star-studded German national team, widely tipped by countless fans to lift the World Cup trophy, would crash out in the Round of 32 after losing to Paraguay — a side far inferior in overall strength and player market value — making them the biggest tragic underdog of this World Cup.
