There was one moment in Thursday night’s England vs. Portugal Under-21 European Championships game in which Harry Kane looked like the striker who had taken the Premier League by storm last season. When the Tottenham Hotspur goalscorer picked up the ball in the 34th minute, he turned with absolute ease and unleashed a thunderous, curling effort that stung the gloves of Jose Sa...

Germany didn’t exactly kick off their campaign for the U21 European Championships with all the flair and domination expected of the competition’s standalone favourites. Two points dropped and a red card picked up is what will be noted in Horst Hrubesch‘s notebook following his side’s 1-1 draw with Serbia on Wednesday evening. On the opening day of the competition it was Denmark...

Last summer, in the heat of Rio de Janeiro, wasn’t the first time Mats Hummels, Manuel Neuer and Mesut Ozil all lifted a trophy together in the black, white and red of Germany. Six years ago, all three stars made history long before they would do the very same thing for the first team by winning the European U21 Championships in Malmo, Sweden. Not only were they the first German side...

Germany will go into Saturday’s clash with European minnows Gibraltar with a little more pressure and anxiety than they ever thought they’d experience ahead of such a game. Joachim Low’s team are expected to beat their hosts quite comfortably on the day but following a recent defeat to the U.S. on Wednesday and a rather clumsy qualifying campaign thus far the newly crowned word...

Joachim Low may fancy his team’s chances this week when Germany take on the U.S., but any hopes he has of a clean, confident win will have to be without central defender Mats Hummels and therefore mean a reshuffling of his back line. The Borussia Dortmund star pulled out of the friendly match and this coming weekend’s clash with Gibraltar complaining about a hip problem, along with...

Joachim Low will certainly be feeling the pressure as he makes the trip through to Georgia this weekend with every intention of picking up all three points against one of Group D. Germany have made tough work of rather straightforward opposition since picking up their World Cup trophy last July, with a defeat to Poland and a draw with Ireland leaving them three points off the top spot in the...

The German national team continue their pursuit of further success following their World Cup win last year with showdowns against Georgia and Australia in the coming days. Manager Joachim Low may have won the greatest prize possible in football, but it hasn’t taken long for the headaches to return to the German bundestrainer. Ahead of two rather easy ties—although one is a friendly...

Germany were somewhat fortunate to overcome Spain in Vigo on Tuesday night, with a late 1-0 win, when a stripped squad faced off against the best that the Spanish U23s could offer. Both Joachim Low and Vicente del Bosque opted to play a number of second-stringers, to the utter dismay of neutrals and fans alike. Yet one German who did feature for his national side was Antonio Rudiger, the central...

On Tuesday Joachim Low’s Germany will hope to finish a most impressive year on a high with a win against none other than former world champions Spain at the Estadio de Balaidos in Vigo. Yet when these two sides meet, the comparisons between the legacy of each country will be completely unavoidable. Can Germany match Spain as they did in Brazil this year and go on to win consecutive trophies...

Joachim Low will have breathed a slight sigh of relief last night when the final whistle went at the Frankenstadion in Nuremberg and confirmed all three points for his Germany side. Die Mannschaft had finally picked up only their second win of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, upon their fourth try. Yet despite winning the game by four goals to the good, such relief would have been fleeting...
