Jurgen braced for Klose encounter with Poles

JURGEN KLINSMANN expects “a hot and hard-fought battle” when Germany take on struggling Poland in Dortmund today.

While the three-time World Cup winners have been riding a wave of euphoria since their entertaining 4-2 victory over Costa Rica, Pawel Janas’ troops have come under fire following a dismal performance in a 2-0 opening loss to Ecuador.

Klinsmann has warned his players the clash with their neighbours will be “completely different” from the curtain-raiser last Friday.
