In the final warm-up game before Low picks his squad for Euro 2012, he was left with more questions than answers to ponder over the coming months.

"You are always frustrated when you lose games and I am a bit annoyed with how we lost," he said.

"France were superior to us throughout the game. We were unable to find our game in the second half and that is why France deserved to win."

A late goal from Cacau gave the Stuttgart striker at least something to smile about, and he hopes to have done enough to have convinced Low that he should also be going to Poland and Ukraine.

"It would have been better if we had got at least a draw, but it was good for me that I scored," he said on the German Football Association's website.

"I have a great chance of being at the European Championships and I want to take it.

"It is going to be tight right up to the Euros, but I will give it all I have got."

Goalkeeper Tim Wiese should be sure of his place in the squad as Germany's number two behind Manuel Neuer, but he was not in the mood for talking last night.

His sixth Germany cap ended like the previous five - without a win.

"This is how the business works, what can you do about it?" he said to the Bild newspaper.
