The Germans pack their bags and fly back to Frankfurt

It was a sad night for German football. The German team fly back to Frankfurt-am-Main today.

They beat Costa Rica 4 - 2. The Japanese goal should not have been allowed.

Thomas Müller announced last night his retirement from the national team and thanked his fans for the good days, and there were many of them.

The old saying: if all the ifs and buts made pots and pans there'd be no need for tinkers.

German manager Hansi Flick gave a measured post- game interview. He denied the team lacked passion, yes they made mistakes, were unlucky too.

Flick plans to stay on as manager and publicly admitted that he loves the job, enjoys it too.

That’s life.
