BERLIN (Reuters) - Franz Beckenbauer, the former World Cup-winning player and coach at the heart of a scandal surrounding the 2006 tournament, is unhappy with the German FA's response to his offer of a "personal" discussion with the association.

The DFB is eager for Beckenbauer to provide answers on several issues including a controversial 2005 payment to FIFA and a draft contract with a disgraced former vice president at football's global governing body.
