BRISBANE : Germany coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg asked for time to analyse the reasons behind her team's shock departure from the Women's World Cup after Thursday's 1-1 draw with South Korea saw the twice champions make a group stage exit for the first time.
Germany, winners of the title in 2003 and 2007, had never gone out earlier than the quarter-finals in their eight previous appearances at the tournament, but now join Brazil and Canada among the fancied nations to be going home early. "We wanted to win today, we did not do so. And yes, of course we had chances but all in all unfortunately we didn't score the goal that we would have needed.
Alexandra Popp pulled the Germans level three minutes before halftime with a header but, for all their effort, the Europeans were unable to find the winner needed, with Popp seeing a second effort ruled out for offside and another hit the crossbar.
