Joachim Low warns Germany of second-game syndrome against Ghana
Having witnessed Italy and Holland make encouraging starts but then struggle in their second matches, Germanys coach insists that qualification for the knock-out phase is not guaranteed.
He also believes Germanys experiences of the 2010 World Cup and 2008 European Championship should keep his squad focused against Ghana. Löws teams won both opening matches at those tournaments only to lose their second and put themselves under pressure for the final game; both were overcome successfully.
