Philipp Lahm still believes in Germany's World Cup chances as the former captain backed coach Joachim Low.
The world champions were stunned in their opening game in Russia, beaten 1-0 by Mexico to start their Group F campaign.
That result has put Germany under enormous pressure in the group , which has Sweden and Mexico on three points.
As Low's side prepare to face Sweden on Saturday , Lahm – a 113-time international – backed the coach and his players for success.
"I think you can always have a discussion about the squad in Germany because we have got so many good players," he said.
