Germany crisis: Five questions for the DFB after shock World Cup failure

Nearly two months have passed since Germany's shock exit from the 2018 World Cup. Since then Mesut Ozil has retired from international football at the age of 29, citing racism and lashing out at the president of the German football federation (DFB), Reinhard Grindel, and a power struggle has unfolded at the top of the German FA.

On Tuesday, German football is holding a summit with representatives of the DFB and German Football League (DFL), along with Bundestrainer Joachim Low and national team general manager Olivier Bierhoff.

The pair will be asked what happened in Russia and how can it be prevented in the future.
