Germany’s Lahm already eyeing World Cup

Germany captain Philipp Lahm is confident the team will put on a good show in Hannover tonight when they begin their World Cup qualifying campaign against Group C minnows the Faroe Islands.

Joachim Low’s side are the favourites to top a pool which also contains Kazakhstan, Austria, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland.

They looked in dominant form at the European Championships over the summer as they progressed smoothly to the semi-finals.
