This coming from a Chelsea fan....SHOCKER!

Anyways, Germany will not get eliminated in the group stages...even with such a young and inexperienced team, they were lucky enough to get the easiest group. It would actually be a BIG Shock if they get eliminated so early on but I doubt it will happen....as a matter of fact, I'm sure it won't. The only team that is strong enough to possibly even upset Germany for first place is Poland anyways.

As for Italy tomorow, a loss agaisnt them wouldn't be surprising as they are a team that are becoming more solid as the tournament nears. Playing in Italy is very tough as well. Then again, it's an international friendly, not a WC game.
