A single penalty shootout can end a World Cup dream in seconds, and that is exactly what happened to one of the tournament’s biggest favorites. Germany crashed out in the Round of 32 after failing to beat Paraguay, and the fallout is already showing up on store shelves.
Germany Jersey Discount Hits Adidas China Store
Germany and Paraguay could not be separated after 90 minutes plus extra time, finishing level at 1-1. However, Germany missed their chances in the shootout and paid the ultimate price with an early exit. Shortly after the final whistle, Adidas China moved fast and applied a major Germany jersey discount across its official online store.
The authentic home shirt, originally priced at 1,099 RMB, dropped to 550 RMB. Meanwhile, the replica home version fell from 699 RMB to 350 RMB. Additionally, long sleeve options followed the same pattern. The authentic long sleeve jersey went from 1,199 RMB to 600 RMB, while the replica long sleeve edition dropped from 799 RMB to 400 RMB.
Away jerseys also received a price cut, though a smaller one. One replica away shirt moved from 699 RMB to 489 RMB. Another replica away jersey fell from 549 RMB to 384 RMB. As a result, nearly the entire Germany kit range is now available at a discount.
In fact, few fans expected this outcome before the tournament began. Germany arrived with a star studded squad and plenty of backing to go all the way. Instead, they lost to a Paraguay side with a far lower market value and less star power on paper. Therefore, Germany’s early elimination stands out as one of the biggest upsets of this World Cup so far.
For now, shoppers looking to grab a Germany shirt at a lower price have a clear window to do so. Whether Adidas keeps this Germany jersey discount running once World Cup excitement moves on remains to be seen.
