BERLIN -- While Germany eased to its second win in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, England showed it has much to do to placate fans frustrated that their expectations are not being met.Germany comfortably defeated the Czech Republic 3-0 and might have won by more, earning plaudits from supporters who indulged in Mexican waves and created a carnival atmosphere in Hamburg.England could manage only a 2-0 win over lowly Malta, a side ranked 176th by FIFA, for an uninspired start following coach Sam Allardyces dismissal over comments in a newspaper sting that called his integrity into question.Elsewhere, Robert Lewandowski scored for the seventh straight qualifying game, this time hitting a hat trick for Poland to beat Denmark 3-2 in Warsaw.Heres a closer look at Saturdays qualifying games and their respective groups. Only the group winners automatically qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.GROUP CThomas Mueller scored twice for the second game running as Germany produced a polished performance to see off the Czech Republic.Mueller, who scored twice in the opening 3-0 win in Norway, is yet to score in six Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich this season, but he opened the scoring early and completed it in the second half after Toni Kroos doubled the lead.Germany had almost three-quarters of the possession in the first half, seemingly almost all of it in the Czechs half, while 93 percent passing accuracy was an indication of the home sides dominance.The only quibble coach Joachim Loew could have had was that his side did not add to its goal tally despite the glut of chances before the break.Loew previously suggested the Czech Republic, which drew with Northern Ireland 0-0 in its opening group game, was Germanys toughest group opponent, but on this display it seems the World Cup champion will have little trouble in qualifying.Elsewhere, Northern Ireland defeated San Marino 4-0 in Belfast, and Maksim Medvedevs early goal was enough for Azerbaijan to beat Norway 1-0 in Baku, giving the team two wins in a World Cup group for the first time.GROUP FGareth Southgate enjoyed a straightforward but unchallenging introduction to international management as a second new England era in a month opened with the victory over Malta.Daniel Sturridges header from Jordan Hendersons cross, and Dele Allis strike in the first half sealed it, but England lacked dynamism and urgency up front, especially in the second half.Regardless, this performance is unlikely to be a factor when the Football Association decides whether to entrust Southgate with the job as Allardyces permanent successor.Southgate was rapidly promoted from the under-21s last week after Allardyce was dismissed, his tenure lasting only 67 days.Scotland substitute James McArthur scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw with Lithuania in Glasgow, while another substitute, Rok Kronaveter earned Slovenia a 1-0 win at home over Slovakia.GROUP ELewandowski again met high expectations by scoring for the seventh consecutive qualifier with his third hat trick of the season to beat Denmark.He netted a cross by Kamil Grosicki in the 20th minute, and converted a penalty 16 minutes later. The hat trick was completed two minutes into the second half of a matchup between the two leading contenders to advance from Group E.An own goal by Kamil Glik gave Denmark its first goal, two minutes after Lewandowskis third, and substitute Yussuf Poulsen added the second in the 69th.Poland, chasing its first World Cup finals since 2006, is tied atop the group with Romania, which routed Armenia 5-0 away, and Montenegro, which grabbed its first win in qualifying with a 5-0 win over Kazakhstan in Podgorica.

SAN DIEGO -- When the New Orleans Saints came to Qualcomm Stadium to stretch their legs after a long flight Saturday, Drew Brees walked to the spot in the west end zone where he suffered a career-changing injury on the last day of 2005, and said a prayer.It was a great time of reflecting, of just how far Ive come and our team has come, Brees said.Some 24 hours later, Qualcomm was the spot of a great celebration for Brees and the Saints. They rallied with two touchdowns in the final 4 minutes, 50 seconds for a stunning 35-34 victory against Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers, who blew a 13-point lead by committing two crucial turnovers.This was as much a team game, a team win, as I could ever remember, said Brees, who left the Chargers as a free agent in early 2006 and led the Saints to their only Super Bowl title four years later.With the Chargers trying to protect a 34-21 lead, Melvin Gordon fumbled and Darryl Tapp recovered at the San Diego 13, setting up Brees 5-yard TD pass to Michael Thomas on fourth-and-2 to pull to 34-28 with 4:50 to go.Travis Benjamin then fumbled after a reception and Nate Stupar recovered at the San Diego 31. Seven plays later, fullback John Kuhn scored his third TD of the game, on a 1-yard run. The PAT made it 35-34.Rivers, who was Brees understudy for his first two NFL seasons, was intercepted by B.W. Webb with 1:10 to go.After the final gun, Brees ran over to the stands and traded high-fives with jubilant Saints fans. After showering and doing postgame interviews, he came back out on the field with several family members and friends.It was the first time Brees played at Qualcomm Stadium since Dec. 31, 2005, when he injured his throwing shoulder in his final appearance as Chargers quarterback. He had surgery and was allowed to leave as a free agent, signing with New Orleans.That gave the starting job to Rivers.That last game in San Diego, I thought my career might have been over, Brees said. As I walked off the field, I thought it might be the last game I would ever play.The Saints took a chance on Brees, and four years later he led them to an NFL title.Brees overcome two interceptions to led the Saints (1-3) to their first win.It was the third time this season the Chargers (1-3) blew a late lead.Chargers coach Mike McCoy was furious.That performance in the second half is flat-out unacceptable, McCoy said. From the very oopening kickoff return all the way to the very end.ddddddddddddYou cannot turn the ball over at critical times when you are trying to put the game away. Two times in a row. We absolutely gave this one away.NO LEAD IS SAFEThe Chargers seemed to have it in control after Rivers directed a 14-play, 74-yard scoring drive capped by Gordons second 1-yard scoring run of the game to give the Chargers a 31-21 lead with 12:15 to play. Rivers kept the drive alive with a pinpoint, 16-yard completion to Tyrell Williams to the New Orleans 7-yard line.The Chargers have led in the fourth quarter of each of their three losses.WHERE IT TURNEDThe Chargers took a 24-14 halftime lead after scoring on three straight possessions, getting the 53-yard TD pass from Rivers to Inman, a 30-yard field goal from Josh Lambo and a 1-yard run by Gordon.San Diego floundered on the opening drive of the second half, making fans nervous. Dexter McCluster caught the opening kickoff of the second half 6 yards deep and bringing it out only to the 15. The Chargers went three and out, and Brees led them on a drive culminated when Kuhn scored on a 1-yard run to pull the Saints to 24-21.ATTENDANCE: The announced crowd was 60,641 at 70,000-seat Qualcomm stadium, the second home game this year well short of capacity.
