BERLIN — Germany coach Joachim Loew was Monday given the backing of the country's football federation, nearly six weeks after his side was knocked out of the Euro 2012 semifinals. “We have heard a very convincing analysis of the Euros," said the president of the DFB Wolfgang Niersbach after meeting Loew in the western city of Frankfurt, where the coach gave his assessment of the Mannschaft's performance during the tournament. Germany was beaten 2-1 by Italy in the semi-final in Warsaw, leading to criticisms of Loew's tactics and selections. — Reuters
