Jermaine Jenas singles out Mesut Ozil during Germany match with South Korea
ARSENAL star Mesut Ozil was once again singled out for criticism during Germany’s clash with South Korea today.
Germany went into the game knowing they needed three points to 100 per cent confirm their place in the last-16.
But they were surprisingly beaten 2-0 and dumped out of the tournament at the group stage.
Ozil was recalled to the starting XI after being dropped for the second group match against Sweden on Saturday.

Speaking at half time, BBC Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas expected Low to make substitutions early in the second half.
