Germany lost 2-1 at home to MKD yesterday. My first thoughts were that the M K Dons had organised an away friendly with the mighty, well drilled  German football machine. Then I discovered that MKD are the North Macedonia national football team. 

''It was the Balkan country's  greatest international victory''

It was Germany's first home World Cup qualifying loss in 20 years in coach Joachim Low's last qualifying game in charge ahead of his departure following this summer's European Championship. "This is bitterly disappointing," Low said.

Will the German national football team ever bask in World Cup glory ever again? I wouldn't bet against that possibility. 

In another game England beat Poland 2-1 to top their Group with three wins from three games played.
