Former Manchester United duo Gary Neville and Roy Keane savaged Germany centre-back Jerome Boateng prior to his sending off against Sweden on Saturday.
Joachim Low's men went into the game knowing that they needed to win to have any hope of staying in the World Cup.
Sweden, however, took a first-half lead through Ola Toivonen, with Boateng slow to react to the striker's movement.
Keane and Neville, both working as pundits for ITV, were quick to single the Bayern Munich defender at half-time.
"Boateng's walking around the place like he's playing Sunday League football," Keane said.
