Has anyone at the stadium for the Germany vs. Ghana match confronted these two? Instagram user selma slim, who is actually at the World Cup, posted this photo while attending today's match. 

His caption read: "So far I've counted 8 Germans in blackface. Worst, people are lining up to take pictures with them. Poor form, #Germany. #racism #racists #worldcup"

We'll keep you updated if the story develops any further. It's a bit surprising that these fans were allowed into the stadium, although they could've applied the paint upon entering. FIFA does not mess around when it comes to racist incidents at their matches.
