Before a tournament that would see them lose to Mexico and South Korea though, the inspired Ireland-esque decision was made to bestow a new contract on the manager - and not just any new contract, one that would take him to 2022, three more tournaments as it was.
But after propping up a group topped by bloody Sweden in the end, there's unrest amongst supporters and a replacement for Joachim Low has being sought - by the mob at least.
The first name to come up? Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp has only had two full seasons with Liverpool so it seems unlikely that he'd jump ship now after flirting with such greatness with them but ultimately falling short so far.
Speaking on the daily JOE World Cup Minipod though, JOE.co.uk senior football correspondent Melissa Reddy explained that Jurgen Klopp would be interested in the Germany job. At some stage anyway.

Reddy said that Klopp would find it hard to turn the job down, if it was offered to him in future.
"I think the German national team would like that very much. I think, eventually, Jurgen Klopp would like that very much," she said. "I think he'd find it hard to turn down the national team in future. "What we've seen from Klopp is, when he is in the midst of a project, he is giving it absolutely everything until there's nothing left. I don't think he's reached that point with Liverpool yet, I think he's far from it. "I think it's something he'll definitely do in future. The issue now for Germany is that there are no stand-out candidates that they can turn to who are ready to step in."Klopp is currently favourite to become the next permanent manager of Germany, after Low.
