Low worries about morale in German camp

Germany coach Joachim Low has admitted that the mood in the world champions’ camp is less than "brilliant" as they seek to make amends for Saturday’s European Championship qualifier loss to Poland in Warsaw.

However, there was no sign of anything approaching panic from Löw as he revealed that there will be few changes to the side that fell to that surprise 2-0 Group D defeat for tonight’s encounter with Ireland.

“The mood in the camp, it can’t be brilliant, can it? I’ve talked to the players and they are open to criticism and know full well that they wasted far too many scoring opportunities. It’s a given that we have to decide the game and come home with a win.
