Germany prepared for Tuesday's friendly with the UAE with a 1-1 draw against China today. Hao Junmin put the home side ahead from a tight angle after five minutes, but the lead did not last long. Just two minutes later Bastian Schweinsteiger played in Lukas Podolski, who calmly beat the Chinese goalkeeper Yang Zhi. Stuttgart's Brazilian-born striker Cacau and Wolfsburg's Christian Gentner both made their international debuts for a lacklustre Germany.

A cheaper choice
Vanuatu: $130,000
Why on earth pick Vanuatu? Easy. The South Pacific country has no income tax, wealth tax, capital gains or inheritance tax. And in 2015, when it was hit by Cyclone Pam, it signed an agreement with the EU that gave it some serious passport power.
Cost: A minimum investment of $130,000 for a family of up to four, plus $25,000 in fees.
Criteria: Applicants must have a minimum net worth of $250,000. The process take six to eight weeks, after which the investor must travel to Vanuatu or Hong Kong to take the oath of allegiance. Citizenship and passport are normally provided on the same day.
Benefits: No tax, no restrictions on dual citizenship, no requirement to visit or reside to retain a passport. Visa-free access to 129 countries.
