Germany vs. Armenia: Final score 6-1, Klose breaks goalscoring record in big win
If you need a demonstration that football is indeed a game of two halves, look no further than Germany's 6-1 demolition of Armenia in their final World Cup preparation match.

In the place of Reus could come Julian Draxler, who is ready to come of age.
