Sami Khedira brushes off Swedish publicity stunt with bold claim that Germany will win World Cup

An unimpressed Sami Khedira brushed off a cheap Swedish publicity stunt on Thursday by insisting Germany would recover from their dismal start to become the first country to retain the World Cup for 56 years. Germany are facing a make-or-break game against Sweden in Sochi on Saturday after losing 1-0 to Mexico in their opening match in Moscow. Mexico’s victory, coupled with Sweden’s win over South Korea, has left the world champions with no margin for error.
