Furious Bastian Schweinsteiger blasts Germany after their surprise 2-0 defeat by Slovakia - as he tears into Florian Wirtz, Nick Woltemade and Co

Germany legend and former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has torn into his country after their surprise defeat by Slovakia.

Julian Nagelsmann's side were in World Cup qualifying action on Thursday night, hoping to get their qualification campaign off to the perfect start in Bratislava.

They had been tipped to finish top of their group, which also includes Northern Ireland and Luxembourg, and were backed to win their first match with the likes of Florian Wirtz, Joshua Kimmich and Nick Woltemade in their line-up.

But things didn't go to plan.
