#Loew pleased after Germany improve; Germany upped their game in overcoming France in their World Cup quarterfinal on Friday, coach Joachim Loew said after his side had faced widespread criticism for struggling to beat Algeria in the last 16. We played well, we played with a compact defence, Loew said after a 1-0 victory secured by a first-half Mats Hummels goal. They had some long balls against us but we did a classy job taking care of those. Our midfield did a very good job disrupting their attack. We didnt have any organisation problems. Loew was not fully satisfied, however, with his team losing possession too often in a match that neither side took control of. We had some phases where we kept losing the ball and that could have got us in trouble, Loew told German television. Loew said it was too early to tell if would keep captain Philipp Lahm as a right fullback, where he played well on Friday after he struggled at times as a holding midfielder.
