MOSCOW (Reuters) - Mexico's shock 1-0 World Cup win over Germany was the result of six months' planning, coach Juan Carlos Osorio said on Sunday, adding that he had told his team to "play with the love of winning rather than the fear of losing".

"We started drawing up a plan six months ago, we had to change some parts because of injuries, but basically using players who are very fast down the flanks," he told reporters after the match.
