Germany 0 Brazil 1Brazil edged past world champions Germany 1-0 in their international friendly on Tuesday to snap their opponents’ 22-match unbeaten run and exact some measure of revenge for their 2014 World Cup semi-final humiliation. “I expected Brazil would play with their best team and with their soul a bit injured they would be fully motivated,” Loew told reporters. Loew, who will announce his preliminary World Cup squad on May 15th, brought on Sandro Wagner for Gomez to add pressure. The five-times world champions kick off their World Cup campaign against Switzerland on June 17th before facing Costa Rica and Serbia. The Germans, four-time champions, have been drawn in Group F of the tournament, along with Mexico, South Korea and Sweden.
