The Germany football team showed they’re a down-to-earth bunch when they took the Underground to their Wembley training session today.

Joachim Low’s men face Roy Hodgson’s team in a friendly at HQ tonight, and the visitors are obviously in a relaxed mood ahead of the big game.

‘Meet Joachim Lowe, Germany manager and his team on the tube to Wembley. I asked him not to beat us on penalties!,’ tweeted @Parmjit Dhanda, who also posted a picture of Low and his boys.

Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze particularly impressed @Ronaldaniho96, who wrote: ‘OMFG… Was just on tube train with whole of Germany national football team!!! Met the whole squad!! And had a right old laugh with Gotze.’

England boss Hodgson, of course, caused a stir last year when he discussed his team selection and Rio Ferdinand’s international future with members of the public during a Tube journey.

No such revelations to report from Herr Low and the boys, though.
