Former Germany coach Jürgen Klinsmann had nothing but scathing words to say following the team's third early World Cup elimination in a row, describing Germany's performance as a "disaster."
Germany lost 4-3 on penalties to Paraguay on Monday after a dour 1-1 draw in the last 32.
"The way we went out tonight is devastating, is an embarrassment, is something nobody, nobody expected," Klinsmann told ESPN.
"This takes Germany into a huge, huge hole," he added.
"Everything, from the top to the bottom, needs to be questioned, needs to be discussed, and obviously there will be consequences to it, whatever those consequences are," the 61-year-old said.
The team hadn't been "energetic enough, decisive enough, aggressive enough to win this battle with a very strong Paraguayan team, which we knew, it's going to be a difficult game."
Asked how much of the blame falls on Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, Klinsmann said: "It falls on everybody from the coaching staff to the federation to every single player that was called into this 26-man roster.
"Everyone is part of this disaster.
"This team definitely lost its face," Klinsmann said.
