Germany
...
Fabio is certainly a competent choice for captainship and I trust in his abilities to lead his team throughout the group-stage without too much troubles. After rolling over Yugoslavia Georgia in their opening match, they will be facing USA this week and as it was said many times before, they’re always a team really hard to approach. If a lose wouldn’t be quite acceptable for Germany, a draw is a potential result which wouldn’t surprise me, and wouldn’t necessarily spoil Germany’s chance. But it would also potentially make their situation complicated if they don’t end up beating BeNe afterwards. And If I was Germany, I would really only satisfy myself with a 1st place, to maximize their chances going further in the tournament.
