Joachim Low: 'Brazil have little flair'

Germany coach Joachim Low claims that the current Brazil side lacks the flair that has traditionally been associated with their national team.

Germany coach Joachim Low has claimed that the current Brazil side does not have the flair that has traditionally been associated with their national team.

Die Mannschaft will face Luiz Felipe Scolari's side in the semi-finals of the World Cup on Tuesday evening.

Low has said that he is expecting a physical encounter in Belo Horizonte, after Brazil committed 31 fouls in their quarter-final victory over Colombia.

"They're playing more robustly than any other team here," he told BBC Sport.

"There's little left of that traditional Brazilian style of football. At the end of the day it's up to the referee to come up with the correct punishment."

Scolari's side have committed 96 fouls in total at the tournament, picking up 10 yellow cards in the process.
