Sinsheim – Missed a sweeping victory like Austria, but still clearly won: Germany’s national soccer team clinched its second victory in the third Group A game in World Cup qualifying with a 4-0 win against Luxembourg on Friday. The reward was a jump to the top of the table, as the previous leaders Slovakia lost 0-2 against Northern Ireland in Belfast, which means that, apart from the pointless bottom team at the halfway point of the group phase, all teams have six points.
