Germany warmed up for the 2004 European championships with a 3-0 win over Belgium in the first ever international match at the RheinEnergie Stadium on Wednesday.
Goals from VfB Stuttgart's striker Kevin Kuranyi, Liverpool midfield ace Dietmar Hamann and Michael Ballack clinched a much-needed win after the World Cup finalists lost their last home match 3-0 to European champions France.
Germany have won an impressive 15 out of 19 international
outings in Cologne and the 46,000 fans at the new stadium, one of
the 2006 World Cup venues, welcomed a comfortable victory over a
young Belgian side absent from the Euro finals.
