GERMANY FORWARD THOMAS Müller believes referee Carlos Velasco Carballo was partly responsible for their defeat to the Republic of Ireland.
The world champions squandered a host of chances as they lost 1-0 to Martin O’Neill’s heroic side in last night’s Euro 2016 qualifier in Dublin, with Shane Long scoring the only goal of the game in the 70th minute.
Müller admitted to reporters that Germany passed up too many opportunities but he also claimed that their cause wasn’t helped by the Spanish referee and his officials.
The Bayern Munich star said: “Ireland only defended and played long balls. We had decent chances and gave nothing away.
“In the end we wasted too many chances and conceded an unnecessary goal after a mistake, coupled with a lot of play-acting and a weak referee.
“Even if it sounds stupid, we didn’t play badly.”
