ALAN SHEARER made no effort to hide his delight after Germany were dumped out of the World Cup in the group stage again.
The ex- England ace posted a hilarious tweet following the results in Group E, which saw Japan’s 2-1 controversial win over Spain seal Germany’s fate and confirm back-to-back World Cup group stage eliminations.
The tweet, captioned: “Germany are out of the #FIFAWorldCup in the group stage!!”;, sees Shearer laughing like a maniac and falling off his chair alongside Match of the Day pals Gary Lineker and Micah Richards .
The clip came from when Lineker attempted to address praise Brazil legend Carlos Alberto had given Richards when he was just 22.
Lineker started off by saying: “Carlos Alberto, if you’re watching, can I just say,”; before a producer behind the camera interrupted and said: “He’s dead.”;
The gaffe from the ex-Barcelona ace left the three in hysterics, with the clip Shearer posted showing off their laughter.
Germany’s evit came after Japan beat Spain thanks to a goal which many felt should have been disallowed for the ball goingout of play.
But Shearer’s joyous post echoed the sentiment of many fans who remembered Germany benefitting from a controversial goalline decision against England in 2010.
Frank Lampard’s infamous “ghost goal”; saw a shot crash in under the crossbar but spin back out of the net, unfairly denying the Three Lions an equaliser before they lost 4-1.
And many England fans took to Twitter to draw comparisons and declare justice had finally been served.
One user said: “Justice for Lampard. He got 0 World Cup goals cause of that.”;

A second fan said: “Lampard’s ghost goal avenged.”;
Another shared an image of the Lampard goal alongside the ball right before Ao Tanaka’s Japan winner against Spain and said: “What goes around comes around...”;
Some fans poked fun at VAR, saying: “Clearly Frank Lampard is in the VAR control room, taking his revenge on Germany for the 2010 ‘not goal’.”;
Another said: “Superb job from Frank Lampard in the VAR room 🤣.”;
Many others simply stated: “Auf Wiedersehen.”;
