Route to Russia:

Simple. 10 games, 10 wins. They scored 43 and only conceded 4. This German team is nothing, if not efficient.

How far can they get:

As the holders, expectations are high. Germany have a very strong squad and an experienced manager. So unsurprisingly, they are one of the favourites. The German squad is a little weaker than expected due to a couple of injuries to key players but they will still harbour intentions of reaching the final.



Manager: 

Joachim Löw. He is probably the best international manager at this World Cup. He has been Germany’s manager since 2008 and since his time in charge, Germany have never exited a tournament before the quarter-finals. Eight years ago, they finished third and four years ago, they lifted the trophy. This Summer, they will have similar intentions.

One to Watch:

Toni Kroos. The Real Madrid man makes this German team tick. He doesn’t quite have the same flair as Reus or Sane. But, with Madrid and Germany, he has made a habit of winning. The serial winner’s mentality cannot be bettered or replaced.
