Germany can win Euro or World Cup – Loew

Germany coach Joachim Loew said on Monday his side can win Euro 2012 or the 2014 World Cup after showing itself to be one of football’s most consistent teams in recent years.

“My gut feeling … is that our team can win a title in 2012 or in 2014,” Loew told sports weekly Kicker in an interview.

“Looking back, together with Spain we really are one of the most consistent teams. In the last two years our performances have got better and better … It’s only when this happens that you can win championships.”

Germany finished third in the World Cup in South Africa earlier this year, demolishing England 4-1 and Argentina 4-0 in some of the tournament’s most exciting football. They lost to eventual winners Spain in the semi-finals.
