Lucky sweater

A BLUE cashmere sweater worn by Germany coach Joachim Loew during his side's run to third place at the 2010 World Cup has won a spot in the German football federation's museum.

Loew had worn the tight sweater in group wins over Australia and Ghana in South Africa as well as its spectacular knockout round victories over England and Argentina. His players had urged him at the time not to wash the sweater and keep wearing it during their fine run after he had briefly opted for a cardigan in their group stage defeat to Serbia.
