World Cup hosts Germany crushed the United States 4-1 here on Wednesday for a much-needed morale boost ahead of this summer's footballing extravaganza.
Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann was hammered in the press after a
4-1 drubbing by Italy in Florence 21 days ago and was relieved to
lift spirits by recording the same scoreline over a weakened United
States team.
After a scoreless first half Bastian Schweinsteiger (46), Oliver Neuville (73.) Miroslav Klose (75.) and Michael Ballack (79.) scored the German goals. Steven Cherundolo (85.)marked the goal for the US-team.
