Only 7 percent of Germans expect their team to win

BERLIN: Only 7 percent of Germans expects its team to win the World Cup on home soil, according to a poll's results released on Monday.

The survey found that another 6 percent expects Germany to match its run to the final four years ago and lose. Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the 2002 final.

Another 37 percent believes Germany will reach the semifinals, but 31 percent thinks the host nation will be eliminated earlier, according to the poll by the Allensbach institute.

Nineteen percent of those surveyed declined to give a forecast. No margin of error was provided.

The poll of 1,076 Germans age 16 and over was carried out between April 28 and May 10, before coach Juergen Klinsmann unveiled his World Cup squad. — AP
