Ahh! I've forgot our goalkeepers, why I can't edit my post in here? They are all very good, the 3rd keeper is the one from bayern, who's in the CL final and very experienced on all international levels and a fantastic penalty-taker. Search for his records Hans-Jörg Butt: 33 goals in 34 penaltys I guess. Tim Wiese is a little bit unpredictable but he's a beast, you know him from Werder Bremen. Our most likely number 1 is Manuel Neuer. Almost a kid but very skilled with wide and accurate to the millimeter throw-outs over the whole field, you'll see. I'll guess he's got some scorerpoints with these This German team is very young but unpredictable, they are capable to lift the trophy or do go home after 3. I wouldn't put money on them, though
i mean -- i think on paper it's a good team. but it's what's on the field that matters. i think guys like kroos and ozul are very talented -- they should be much more prepared in 2014. but if there is one player who is capable of showing up at the WC -- it's klose. wouldnt put money on them, as you say.
Germany appears to be in a group of big,physical teams....ain't no Saudi Arabia's (2002) in that lot...
Nobody expects that. But except of the Fins maybe, who look like clinical finishers every time they play us, Germany likes to play with this kind of team - don't fret!
I'd love to see Australia up there but somehow I get the feeling I'll be watching two different teams at the final.

They showed all their power in the SouthAmerican WCQ, in the 2 lasts Copas América, and in the Confederations Cup.
agreed, if Spain can do it last Euros with the "choke" label over the years... i think Netherlands can do it. i don't know if there is a side with more "in form" players than the Netherlands going into this world cup
