Arsenal legend Wright happy to see Germany bounced out

Arsenal legend Ian Wright admits he's happy to see Germany dumped out of the World Cup.

It is the first time they have not made the knockout stages of the World Cup since 1938.

“First thing I thought was potential quarter-finalists we don't have to worry about when we're totally honest," he said on ITV.

“In respect of Germany and what they do, then yeah it is surprising to see Germany go out like they have.

“They always seem to find a way to get it done.

“Coming into the tournament with one win in six or something, poor form, you still feel Germany are going to get it done.

“It is surprising but for some reason I can't seem to shed a tear for them.

“Well you have to (enjoy it).

“It is surprising to see a Germany side go out like they have."
