WORLD CUP LIVE 2022 – Thomas Muller and Hansi Flick ponder futures after Germany failure; Brazil and Portugal in action later

FALLEN GIANTS

The post-mortem following Germany’s exit has already begun.

Die Mannschaft defeated Costa Rica 4-2 but ended up third in Group E after Spain’s shock defeat to Japan.

It is the second consecutive World Cup Germany have gone out in the Group stage and is the first time that has ever happened.

Inevitably questions will be asked and the coach and a star name have already raised questions over their involvement going forward.
