Augsburg (Germany): A second-string Germany side suffered a 3-1 Euro 2016 warm-up washout to Slovakia on Sunday as heavy rain threatened to force the encounter to be abandoned in the second half. World Cup winners Germany, facing Poland, Ukraine and Northern Ireland in Group C next month in France, imploded after a solid start, suffering a third loss in four matches. Germany coach Joachim Loew rested several key players.
