Germany coach Joachim Low on Friday named 18 of his FIFA World Cup™-winning squad for a friendly match against Argentina and the opening UEFA EURO qualifier against Scotland next week. Forwards Marco Reus, who missed the World Cup due to injury, and Mario Gomez, who was overlooked for Brazil, return to the squad for the games in Dusseldorf on 3 September and Dortmund four days later.

Missing are former skipper Philipp Lahm, record goalscorer Misolsav Klose and defender Per Mertesacker, who have all retired from international football, and influential midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is sidelined with a knee injury. All will be present though as spectators in Dusseldorf in the re-run of the 13 July World Cup Final which Germany won 1-0 in extra-time with a goal from substitute Mario Gotze. The friendly with Argentina had been arranged in March before the World Cup.

Low said he was delighted to have Reus back in the squad, having torn ligaments in his left ankle inGermany's final World Cup warmup match against Armenia. He returned to action for Borussia Dortmund in a German Cup match on 16 August.

"We missed him in Brazil. I am sure he has some great tournaments ahead of him and will achieve great things," Low added.

We won the World Cup, but that's in the past now. We have set ourselves new goals, for the present and for the future.

Joachim Low, Germany coach

The Germany coach spoke of his excitement at facing their World Cup Final opponents, so soon after their July showdown.

"It's going to be challenging and exciting for us to be able to play against Argentina again," Low said. "I've got a great deal of respect for this team, who will be highly-motivated and won't gift us anything. We're at the start of a new season so this test is going to be a welcome one for us to measure ourselves at the highest level."

Four days later, work begins in earnest in trying to follow up their World Cup triumph with victory at the next UEFA EURO Championships.

"We won the World Cup, but that's in the past now," Low said. "We have set ourselves new goals, for the present and for the future. We want to open the door to new players. We've got many interesting options. Our aim is clear: we want to launch an assault on the EURO 2016 title.

"To do that, first we need to qualify and a good start is important for that. Of course it has got to be our aim to beat Scotland at home, but we're not going to underestimate them. Scotland play with their hearts and lot of passion and they are going to throw everything into the mixer and fight sacrificially."

Aaron Ramsey believes Arsenal's impressive 3-0 rout of Manchester City in the FA Community Shield proves they are on the verge of great things. Arsene Wenger's side warmed up for the newEngland Premier League campaign, which kicks off next weekend, with a ruthless dismantling of the champions at Wembley on Sunday.

Wales midfielder Ramsey scored Arsenal's second goal after Santi Cazorla's opener and Olivier Giroud's superb long-range strike sealed a morale-boosting win. It was the perfect way to maintain the feelgood factor from last season's FA Cup final triumph over Hull City, a victory which ended the Gunners' nine-year trophy drought.

After going 3,283 days without silverware, Arsenal have now won two trophies in four months and Ramsey is convinced his team are destined for more success in the coming season. "The atmosphere in the camp is great. We really want to work hard for each other and the club is on the up," Ramsey told BT Sport.

"Everyone is excited and the arrival of Alexis Sanchez has made everyone excited. After the FA Cup win I really feel this club is on the up and I hope we can go on to be very successful in the coming years."

Ramsey's strike followed hot on the heels of his extra-time winner in the FA Cup final, while Cazorla also netted again after scoring against Hull. "It has not been a bad place for me or Santi Cazorla. We want to play here every week!" Ramsey said.

"I have just become a lot more composed in front of goal, realising I have more time than I did in the past. We have prepared well and it paid off as we came out 3-0 winners. They couldn't get near us for the first 25 minutes."

Giroud's brilliant 30-yard effort was the pick of the goals, but the France striker claimed he was slightly fortunate to have scored from such a distance.

"I felt I could shoot, I was a bit lucky but I did what I really wanted to do and scored. I think we will be stronger this year. We are getting better and better and I think we will do very well."

Some truly breathtaking goals have been seen over the course of 20 FIFA World Cups™. Some have been decorated by incredible dribbles. Some have been exceptional passing moves. Others have been wonder strikes.
