Germany prepared for its decisive World Cup match against Ghana by practicing rugby at training. Coach Joachim Loew's players passed and ran with a rugby ball instead of kicking a football during the part of Monday's training that is open to the media.
Germany plays Ghana on Wednesday at Soccer City needing a victory to be sure of advancing to the second round.
