Low ready for England clash
Posted Thursday, June 24, 2010 by PA
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.
He said: "Rooney may not have been a big gun so far but he is always ready to explode, he is difficult to mark and control so our defence will need to watch that he doesn't score."
