LOEW HAPPY WITH GERMAN SHOW

Germany’s football head coach Joachim Loew was happy when the second string team played a 1-1 draw with South American champions Chile, one of the favourites for the 2017 Confed Cup. Loew also smiled for another reason -- the performance of his team with the lowest age average of all teams (24.6 yrs) was proof for him that they are on the right track with a strategy many saw as being risky before the start of the tournament, reports Xinhua news agency. His team has now passed a serious stress test against Chile.
