German coach fears Rooney factor

Joachim Low fears Wayne Rooney could "explode" into form when Germany meet England in the last 16 of the World Cup in South Africa.

A second-half goal from Werder Bremen star Mesut Ozil settled Germany's Group D match with Ghana and set up the encounter with Fabio Capello's men in Bloemfontein on Sunday, and Germany coach Low is expecting a tough test from England and is particularly mindful of Manchester United forward Rooney despite his lacklustre start to the tournament.
