Miles Plumlee Jersey . Lows side defeated Czech Republic 3-0 on Saturday, having beaten Norway by the same scoreline in their opening Group C fixture. Highlights of Northern Irelands 4-0 win over San Marino from World Cup Qualifying Group C Germany lead the group from surprise package Azerbaijan on goal-difference but Northern Ireland have also begun well. Michael ONeills team secured a creditable goalless draw away to the Czech Republic in their opening fixture before a Kyle Lafferty brace helped them defeat San Marino 4-0 in Belfast on Saturday, but Low insists he is entirely focused on his players.I have told the team Ill only be happy if we get the maximum number of points from our next two games, he said.We are concentrating on ourselves, that we develop further and make sure we win our games, but were self-confident enough to say well qualify. Germany narrowly defeated Northern Ireland at Euro 2016, with Mario Gomez scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory, a game that gave Low a taste of what to expect from Tuesday nights opponents.The team is passionate, the players have a big heart, he added.A large part of their Euro 2016 squad will also be in Hanover, so we know what to expect. Sky Live: Germany v N Ireland Will Grigg will miss Northern Irelands World Cup Qualifier away to Germany Defender Mats Hummels admits Germanys desire for 12 points from their first four qualifiers is in part motivated by a faltering qualifying campaign for the European Championships which saw them suffer two away defeats.We are very motivated to invest everything in this two-year campaign for the World Cup, said Bayern Munich defender Hummels.We are on the right path and we want to show we are one of the best teams in the world. Mats Hummels (right) battles for the ball with Conor Washington at Euro 2016 Hummels and Jerome Boateng knocked a series of diagonal balls forward to great success against the Czechs, but Low does not expect the same long-ball tactic to work against the Irish.I dont think Northern Ireland will present us with the same opportunities, said Low.They will sit deeper and not pack the middle as much as the Czechs, and they have very good players in the air. They wont give us so much space.Watch Germany v Northern Ireland on Tuesday.

Ray Allen Jersey .com) - Real Madrid claimed its 16th consecutive victory across all competitions on Saturday after earning a 2-1 win over Malaga at the Estadio La Rosaleda. PHILADELPHIA -- Jaromir Jagr isnt acting his age, and the New Jersey Devils are thrilled about it. Jagr scored the winning goal to snap a third-period tie and lead the New Jersey Devils to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. It was the 21st goal of the season and sixth game-winning tally for Jagr, who is the NHLs career leader with 124. It also marked the 702nd career goal for the 42-year-old forward, who earlier this season became the seventh player to score 700 NHL goals. Jagr, in his 20th NHL season, is enjoying the opportunity the Devils have provided him. "Without the fun at my age, theres no chance you can play," Jagr said. "You have to grab the opportunity. I got a chance to play and now its up to me what kind of advantage I take of it." While outsiders might be surprised by Jagrs success, those close to him arent. "Hes done that all year for us," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "Nothing surprises me about him. When youre around him, thats why hes one of the best of all time." Travis Zajac had the other goal for New Jersey (29-24-13), which won for the fifth time in seven games to move within two points of the third-place Flyers in the tightly bunched Metropolitan Division. Adam Henrique was held in check by the Flyers, and his six-game goal streak was snapped. Henrique had nine goals and two assists during that run. Nicklas Grossman scored for the Flyers (33-25-7), who are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. "Well, its a tough loss," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "Obviously, our team battled hard; it was a good game, I thought we competed hard. We didnt score enough goals." Philadelphia had a potential tying goal by Scott Hartnell disallowed by officials with 40.1 seconds remaining because it was determined that Hartnell pushed goalie Martin Brodeur into the net. "Not saying he did it on purpose, but his momentum threw him into me," Brodeur said. "It really prevented me. It didnt warrant a penalty. I think its the right call." Brodeur won for the fourth straight time. Like Jagr, the 41-year-old Brodeeur didnt show his age.
Rashad Vaughn Bucks Jersey. . "He was in a zone," Jagr said. "Its Marty Brodeur, what do you want me to say? Either youve got it or you dont, and hes got it." Brodeur also praised Jagr for his winning goal. "You cant teach that," he said of Jagrs skill level. "These are things that he does that not many players are able to have, and it comes natural to him." Marek Zidlicky set up Jagr for the decisive tally with a backhanded pass from behind the net. Jagr lifted it off goalie Steve Mason and just inside the near post from close range to put New Jersey ahead 2-1 with 12:18 left. "My dad always told me, You have to keep moving in the offensive zone," said Jagr, who also had an assist. "Thats what we did, and something is always opening up. Lucky break, but since we were skating a lot it creates chances." Jagr, a former Flyers player, is no stranger to success against Philadelphia. He raised his career total to 103 points in 90 career games versus the Flyers. "He was able to kind of just chip it and it snuck through there," Mason said. "Hes a big body, strong player when he has the puck on his stick and is able to protect it." Zajac opened the scoring 7:56 in when he beat Mason top shelf from a difficult angle after getting the Flyers goalie to sprawl on the ice following a deke in front. It was Zajacs 12th goal this season. Grossmann tied it 47 seconds into the second period with a rare soft goal allowed by Brodeur. Grossmann whirled and wristed a shot from the side boards near the Flyers bench. Brodeur misplayed the puck, and it went between his legs. Brodeur was solid otherwise, making 30 saves to improve to 50-31-10 against Philadelphia. Mason fell to 0-4 against the Devils. NOTES: Grossmann last scored on Feb. 20 of last season. ... Flyers centre Zac Rinaldo (upper body injury) sat out. He is day-to-day. ... Backup Philadelphia goalie Ray Emery (lower body injury) didnt play despite practicing on Monday. Emery hasnt played since being injured on Feb. 27. ... New Jersey went 2-1-1 against Philadelphia this season.
