Gotze missed out on a place in Germany's World Cup squad after an indifferent season for Borussia Dortmund and has therefore been spared the humilation of his compatriots.
Instead, the midfielder has been enjoying his time off and on Thursday morning posted a video on of himself doing some freestyle on Twitter.
In the video, Gotze can be seen doing the 'round the world' skill with a red ball, accompanied with the juggling emoji.
Had the content been published any of time, it would not have looked nearly as suspicious. However, with less than 24 hours since Germany's exit, it seems like a dig at his national team coach.
