(Reuters) - Germany coach Joachim Loew rued his team's missed chances in their surprise 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying defeat to Ireland on Thursday, which delayed any qualification celebrations by a few days.

The Group D leaders, who only needed a point in Dublin, are on 19, one ahead of Poland and the Irish, who play each other on Sunday. Three-time European champions Germany have a seemingly easier task at home against Georgia.
