LANDOVER, Md.
Kirk Mclean Canucks Jersey . -- Darren Fletcher converted the decisive fifth penalty opportunity in Manchester Uniteds
victory over Inter Milan after a scoreless draw Tuesday night in the second game
for both teams in the International Champions Cup. Marco Andreolli struck the
crossbar on Inters fourth spot kick, the only miss of nine attempts. Inter
defeated Real Madrid on penalties Saturday before losing this match between
traditional European powers looking to rebound from sub-par seasons last year.
Inter finished fifth in their 2013-14 Serie A campaign, while United was seventh
a year after winning the Premier League in manager Alex Fergusons final season.
United created the majority of chances throughout regulation. It came closest to
scoring when Samir Handanovic made a diving stop on Jonny Evans header in the
11th minute. The game attracted a crowd of 61,238, and most wore Uniteds Red and
White. But the loudest ovation during pregame introductions went to Inter Milan
defender Nemanja Vidic, who joined the squad this season after eight-and-a-half
years with United.

Djokovic, who has won in Dubai on four occasions.FRANKFURT, Germany -- Germany
coach Joachim Loew made a surprising last-minute change in his preliminary World
Cup squad on Wednesday, calling up midfielder Christoph Kramer and dropping
forward Andre Hahn. Loew also cut three players from the group that will go to a
training camp next week. Kramer, who plays for Borussia Moenchengladbach, made
his international debut in the 0-0 draw against Poland on Tuesday. Experienced
defender Marcell Jansen of Hamburger SV and Schalke midfielders Leon Goretzka
and Max Meyer were placed on call, but will not travel to the camp in northern
Italy and the World Cup in Brazil unless a member of the squad suffers an
injury. Kramer was the unexpected beneficiary of the bland match against Poland.
Loew said he needed back-up for the central midfield because several players are
recovering from injury. "This decision has nothing to do with the performance of
Andre Hahn, we were very pleased with him," Loew said. "The reasons are purely
linked to the position. We have several central midfield players who have been
injured recently and some who are coming off long layoffs. So we want to have
another option and to be prepared for all eventualities. Christoph Kramer left a
very good impression," Loew said. Hahn is nominally an attacking mmidfielder,
whose speed makes him a perfect counter-attacking player.
Pavel Bure Jersey. He led Augsburg with 12 goals this season. Kramer is a hard-working central midfielder who is known for
covering a lot of ground. He could step in if Sami Khedira or Bastian
Schweinsteiger fail to regain full fitness. Khedira has played one full match
since a knee injury in November and Schweinsteiger is nursing a knee problem.
The domestic season ends on Saturday with the German Cup final between Bayern
Munich and Borussia Dortmund. A dozen Germany players are on both sides and will
join the national team after the final. Loew decided to drop Jansen although the
position of left back is seen as a problem spot on the team. "Marcell was
injured in March in the friendly against Chile and although he is healthy again,
his fitness is still not optimal, he hasnt played much," Loew said. As for
Goretzka and Meyer, Loew said they were young players the future ahead of them.
Germany plays Cameroon on June 1, after which Loew will announce his final
23-man squad. Germany will host Armenia on June 6, one day before flying to
Brazil. Germany opens its World Cup campaign on June 16 against Portugal, then
plays Ghana on June 21 and ends the group stage against the United States on
June 26.
