Group D: Germany face tough rivals

CAPE TOWN: Despite an unbeaten qualifying campaign, Germany coach Joachim Loew insists his side can take nothing for granted as they front up to Australia, Ghana and Serbia in World Cup Group D.

Germany have never lost to any of their three future opponents in previous meetings but Loew insists he is taking nothing for granted.

"I wouldn't say we were too lucky with the draw," said Loew, who succeeded Jurgen Klinsmann as head coach after the 2006 World Cup.
