Bastian Schweinsteiger Comments About Germany’s Performance

Bastian Schweinsteiger was stuck on the practice field while Germany crashed out of the World Cup in shocking fashion on Wednesday, unable to watch his former national team teammates and coaches in their historic defeat to South Korea as he trained with the Chicago Fire.

The 2014 World Cup winner told MLSsoccer.com in an exclusive interview that he was stunned that his country failed to get out of the group stage for the first time in their World Cup history.

Playing a World Cup is a huge opportunity.

But I just hope to see Germany play like the Germans played in the past.”

That didn’t stop him from lamenting the global power’s stunning exit on Thursday.

But for the next days it’s hard to watch the World Cup without Germany.
