  • Story Text: Germany's World Cup soccer squad prepare for their second Group D match against Serbia.
    Germany's World Cup soccer squad trained at their Atteridgeville pitch near Pretoria, South Africa on Thursday (June 17) to prepare for their second Group D match against Serbia in Port Elizabeth on Friday (June 18).
    Goals from Lucas Podolski, Miroslav Klose, Thomas Mueller and substitute Cacau saw them crush Australia 4-0 on Sunday (June 13) in Durban with their overall performance winning them widespread praise.
    Serbia lost their opener to Ghana 1-0 and are in need of a win to keep their realistic chances of qualifying alive.
    Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has all but overcome a minor cold, triggered by the sudden and sharp drop in temperatures, and trained with the team on Thursday.
    Germany's final group match against Ghana is on June 23 in Johannesburg's Soccer City.
