Germany learned painful lesson, admits Bierhoff

Germany’s general manager Oliver Bierhoff says the remarkable 4-4 draw with Sweden on Tuesday must serve as a lesson to his side in their quest for World Cup glory.

Germany threw away a 4-0 lead in the final half hour of the game to claim only a point which still keeps them three points clear at the top of qualifying Group C.

However, opponents Sweden have the chance to join them with a win in their game in hand.
