GDANSK, Poland (AP) -Who is the mole in the German ranks?

Germany coach Joachim Loew is trying to plug a leak that has allowed news of his lineup plans to be all over the country's media hours before matches at the European Championship.

The most recent case was ahead of Friday's quarterfinal against Greece, when Loew made three major changes to his attack. Germany still won comfortably 4-2, but Loew was not happy with the leak.

The players say it was none of them. Loew suspects their agents.
