Germany manager Joachim Low: "The disappointment of being eliminated is just huge.

"I think first of all we need to congratulate our two opponents who have made it out of the group.

"At this tournament we didn’t deserve to win again or move to the round of 16. We were eliminated not because we didn’t want to win but we never had the chance to take a lead at any point – we were always lagging behind, trying to keep up.

"We saw Sweden had taken the lead so we needed to keep the pressure up but our team was missing the ease of play and the classiness we usually have. So, we deserve to be eliminated yes."
