LONDON (Reuters) - Germany continued their World Cup preparations with a win and maintained their long unbeaten run at Wembley Stadium when they took advantage of some poor defending to beat England 1-0 in a relatively low-key friendly on Tuesday.

The decisive goal came when Germany skipper Per Mertesacker outjumped Chris Smalling to powerfully head in a cross from Tony Kroos after 39 minutes and again expose a weakness at the heart of the home defence, for so long a strength of the England team.
