Mesut Ozil’s father wants his son to quit playing for Germany

Following Germany early exit from World Cup, Arsenal player Mesut Ozil has come in for heavy critisism. Germany were defeated in their opening match against Mexico with both Lothar Matthaus and Stefan Effenberg hitting out at Arsenal's new No.10. Ozil’s father believes that he should call it a day with the national team. "If I were in his place, I would say: ‘Thank you, but that’s enough,’" he told German publication Bild am Sonntag. "He’s bent, disappointed and offended, yes, offended, his own fans booed him before the World Cup at the international in Austria and he cannot understand why. "He doesn’t always have to defend himself. He’s played in the national team for nine years … and became a world champion. "It’s always said that if we win, we win together, but if we lose, we lose because of Ozil. "He’s booed and put up as a scapegoat – I completely understand that he is offended.
