The German national team have announced the dates for their warm-up games prior to this summer's European Championships...
The World Cup semi finalists will play Belarus on May 27th and Serbia four days after.
Germany manager Joachim Löw (pictured) hand-picked the opponents, and explained his choices to the media.
"We've chosen these two teams because they have similar characteristics, as regards mentality and style of game, to Poland and Croatia," he said.
Poland and Croatia, of course, are two of the three teams in Germany's group for the competition, which is being co-hosted by Austria and Switzerland.
The third team in the group is Austria, with whom Germany had already agreed a friendly to be played on February 6th, as well as facing fellow co-hosts Switzerland on March 26th.
Germany will open their Euro 2008 campaign against Poland on June 8th in Klagenfurt.
