Germany coach Joachim Low say his players won't be happy settling for a World Cup semifinal finish.
The Germans will be bidding to reach their first World Cup final since 2002 - when they were beaten by Brazil - in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday.
At the same time, they will be hoping to avoid a hat-trick of consecutive semi-final disappointments by taking the penultimate step towards their first major title since Euro '96.
"We've been in at least the semi-finals of the last four World Cups and that just shows that we've been playing consistently at the very highest level," Low said in an interview with the German Football Association (DFB).
"This is a highlight now; it's something special and amazing. I'm looking forward to it so much, and everybody in the squad is too.
"I think all Germans are also, and one thing's for sure - we desperately want to play in the Maracana in Rio again. On July 13. We're not done yet."
