Germany boss Hansi Flick took issue with Bastian Schweinsteiger's assessment of his team as the pair clashed on TV.
The Germans were sent crashing out of the World Cup, becoming one of the tournament's biggest casualties so far. Spain and Japan, who shocked the Europeans in their opening game, were the two teams to advance from their group, leaving the 2014 winners to reflect on their latest failure.
Germany have failed to perform at the last two World Cups under two different managers. Flick took over from Joachim Low 18 months ago, but saw his side pick up four points from their three games, exiting on goal difference despite their win over Costa Rica.
