Current World Cup holders Germany were defeated by Mexico on Sunday in their first game of Russia 2018.
A single Hirving Lozano first-half goal was enough for Juan Carlos Osorio’s side to hang on to as the Germans made a disaster start to their follow-up campaign.
And these were the best of the jokes from Germany 0-1 Mexico in Group F:

Notable that the Mexican supporters do NOT do the Mexican wave. Rest of the world take note.#GERMEX
