GROUP D

Germany will win here, unfortunately xD

Hah, my group.
Not the best group, but interesting.
Australia is a band of fighter, they aren't in the good form as they had 2005, Confed-Cup in Germany. I don't think that their offensive is good enough to give the opponent some risky moments. Ghana without Essien = Still good team in Africa, but not in the World. They need their leader, I can't imagine them as a candidat to get into last sixteen.

Serbia is a great team, I've a lot of respect. Vidic, for me the best centre back and their offensive-player are world class. Some problems with their goalkeeper... but they have Vidic who will defend his own goal better than the goalkeeper. Veni Vidi Vidic =)
Germany has a good team, a lot of youth talents. Özil, Marin, Kroos, Müller, Badstuber, Neuer, Khedira, Boateng... they are all younger than 25. Maybe they have a lack of experience but what shall we do? Our experienced player are injured, so we must bet on them. It'll be enough to reach the round of last sixteen for sure.

Germany 7
Serbia 7
Australia 1
Ghana 1

Imo one of the most interesting group.
Australia must not be underestimated (i still have in my eyes Totti's eyes before kicking that penalty in 2006 ;P), same with Ghana. Imo, Serbia will arrive 4th in this group.

Sure, very nice group with 1 classic, 2 possible outsiders and a variable team like Australia. Every match will be important
My bet:
Ghana/Germany
Serbia
Australia

My bet would be:

Serbia
Germany
Australia
Ghana

Germany
Serbia
Ghana
Autralia

This is why Serbia probably will win their group:

yeah they have a great team, but i still see germany better. lets see

harrr, Germany rawks! But it could be 4-0 now instead of 2-0

Good game Germany so far.
Sure Australia is unrecognizable comparing to 2006, but Germany seems a fresh team.

you're right scia germany have this time a really good team. but its just australia. kets waithow they play against serbia or other top teams.

We, Germany, played the best football so far. Our offensive is young and hungry. The defensive midfield is our best team segment and our centre backs are solid player. I'm doubting that we've seen the World Cup winner of 2010, 2 days ago, but at least we are better than the majority expected, including me there. But it's obviously, Ballack is a stone in our game, an overrated player.

Anyway damn Müller, great goal and great game.. but the chance vs Inter in CL-finals was way easier. -.-

Serbia vs Ghana was a disappointment, both teams played bad. That's not the Ghana I want to see but Serbia was even worse, I still hope there's any chance for Serbia to pass the next round.
The next game is Germany vs Serbia, friday 13:30PM and I've to work. Prepare urself, doctor.

+1
Sacred cows are unnecessary but hard to avoid. But once you made it, things work better: Raúl, Zubizarreta, Marchena, Ballack,...just few examples...

Btw, don't forget that this was just the first match. I don't remember (well, this is not true, i remember but do understand what i want to say...) the 1st phase of any of the last world cup champions.

Anyway, good job vs Australia. Without irony nor sarcasm.

Best game so far, which probaby isnt that hard cuz imo just rsa-mexico and arg-nig were kinda fun watching before.

i think its kinda unfair talking bad about ballack and not only cuz hes a sacred cow
maybe he isnt a that great player anymore but still very important as a leader, especially in this extremely young team. Germany didnt often play games like this in the past years, but first : its just one game, lets see if they continue playing like this and second: last years with ballack they didnt have an özil, a müller and a strong schweinsteiger who was way weaker on the wing position.
with ballack as a captain germany became 2002 second, 2006 3rd and 2008 2nd again which probably are the best results of all european countries.

i understand if someone dislikes his playstyle, but im still sad that he cant play cuz he would be an extreme help for this young team.

Woah, did u follow the last minutes of Serbia-Australia? Kinda shocking for Pantelic (in unseen off-side, btw).

Anyway it'll be Germany-England and Ghana-Usa (americans got chances to reach 4th-finals xD).

if i would be playing for germany i would have done an own goal at the end to avoid england and argentina in 8th/quarter finale...what so ever... we will rock them

gz to germany, this year i dont have so much hate towards u, maybe due to ft mates xD

Anyway dont u depend too much Ozil?very good goal yesterday

I don't care that much about our team, my support goes to the team of Netherlands.
Yesterday 29,2 Millions people watched Germany - Ghana, 79,8% of TV-owner. Atom, Naru, Scia could u tell me ur viewer levels?

Well I'm surprised what happened to Boateng, the Prince I mean, he improved a lot in England. Though he was playin for Portsmouth
He became a great player. Özil is our most important player in the offensive, yes. It's only a matter of time when he plays for an english team, unfortunately. He fits better to the Bundesliga or Primera división. Another good player is Thomas Müller. In 3 games 1 goal and 2 assists, good job. Lahm is great as well and Schweinsteiger plays a good tournament so far.

Germany played better than England in the 3 games, my neutral view. I think it's going to penalty. 0-0; 4-3 for Germany. ^^ I'm not a fan of the english football, that's why.

The english footbal is a total shit, they think it's rugby without the fact to use hands, but feet.
And well england always sucked, but imo, germany will win at least 2/3-0 against them.
