Germany ready to rout Sweden in WC qualifier

Ireland were hammered 6-1 in Dublin on Friday with Borussia Dortmunds Reus scoring twice as Germany stayed top of Group C by picking up their third win in three games.Joachim Loews side dominated their hosts at Dublins Aviva Stadium despite having gone into the game under pressure from the German media following lacklustre displays against Faroe Islands and Austria last month.Reus now expects the same high standard for the match against Sweden with Paris St Germains star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in their ranks.That was once again the football we know from Germany, said Dortmunds Reus.Ibrahimovic is an absolute world-class player, but we will play on Tuesday with a our heads held high.The confidence has returned to the German team following a three-month absence in the wake of their Euro 2012 semi-final defeat to Italy, but team manager Oliver Bierhoff dampened growing expectations after the Irish win.There had been hints of unrest in the Germany camp recently after vice-captain Bastian Schweinsteiger said friction had emerged during Junes Euro 2012 campaign and Bierhoff said the good work must continue.We shouldnt rush into euphoria again and insist everything is now resolved. We have to keep working hard, he said.Having missed the win over Ireland through suspension, Germany captain Philipp Lahm will return for Tuesdays game and the Bayern Munich star said the aim is to claim another three points.That was fun (against Ireland). You could see we played really creative football and we can take teams like Ireland apart, said Lahm.All that counts now is Sweden, we are very focused.We are facing a dangerous team, perhaps the strongest opponent in the group and we want to bring in the next three points.Veteran striker Miroslav Klose scored Germanys fourth goal against the Irish to give him his 65th goal on his 125th appearance and put him ever closer to Gerd Muellers record of 68 goals for the Germans.But Klose dismissed any talk of records.If we can prepare properly for the game and a few things go our way, we will get a result, said the 34-year-old.
