Germany going through the gears

Coach claims best yet to come from two-time champ after last-16 cruise

GRENOBLE, France - Germany coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg warned the best is yet to come from her team after it cruised into the quarterfinals of the World Cup with ominous ease on Saturday night.

Goals from Alexandra Popp, Sara Daebritz (penalty) and Lea Schueller saw the second-ranked Germans brush aside Nigeria 3-0 in Saturday's opening last-16 clash, setting up a last-eight meeting with either Sweden or Canada next Saturday.
