Loew to add to Germany’s strong semis record

Joachim Loew can maintain his proud decade-long record of steering Germany to the semi¿nals at major tournaments with a draw against Cameroon today, enough to reach the last four of the Confederations Cup.

Since Loew took charge as head coach after Germany ¿nished third at the 2006 World Cup on home soil, the team has always reached the semi¿nals at either European championships or World Cup ¿nals.

The world champion takes on Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions at Sochi’s Fisht Stadium later today while Chile plays Australia in Moscow in the ¿nal round of Group B games. Germany is second to Chile in the table only by a single goal with both teams on four points while Cameroon and Australia have a point.
