“It’s still only Nations League”

Germany and Bayern Munich forward Thomas Müller has admitted he could retire from international football after crashing out of the World Cup.
Despite beating Costa Rica 4-2 in their last group stage game tonight, Müller and Germany were eliminated from the World Cup due to a worse goal difference than Spain.

In a post-match interview, Müller admitted that tonight’s game could be his last for Germany.

“If that was my last game for Germany, a few words to the German fans: It was a tremendous pleasure,” he said.

“Thank you very much. I always tried to show heart on the pitch. Sometimes there were tears of joy, sometimes pain.

“I did it with love. I need to think about everything else now.”
