Germany Not Similing At All.

Germany produced a dazzling display of attacking football to thrash Armenia 6-1 in their last World Cup warm-up on Friday but Marco Reus could be in doubt for the finals after after twisting his ankle. The Germans, looking to end an 18-year wait for an international title, scored all their goals in the second half after midfielder Reus was taken to hospital for checks after being injured in the 43rd minute.
Mario Goetze struck twice and Lukas Podolski, Andre Schuerrle, Benedikt Hoewedes and Miroslav Klose, who became his country's all-time top scorer with 69 goals, were also on target as the hosts hit five goals in 18 minutes.
"It was obvious we were much fresher today," coach Joachim Loew told reporters, referring to Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cameroon. "In the second half we upped the tempo as well.
"When we switch on that turbo my team can do a lot of things. I am looking forward to the tournament."
Germany, who take on Portugal, Ghana and United States in World Cup Group G later this month, were without first-choice keeper Manuel Neuer who is recovering from a shoulder injury.
