I can live with that group. I rather play Denmark and Portugal than Croatia and France. If we win the group, we most likely avoid Spain till the final (or Italy) and we get a rather easy quarter final even if we loose against the Netherlands.

Better this rather though group than meeting either Spain or Italy in the quarter final...

Spain's group is real tricky but Portugal might just get screwed over the most if Netherlands can stay fit.

VdV, Robben, Sneijder and Van Persie all in form can be pretty scary.

It's going to be a pleasure to see C. Ronaldo cry again after not making it past the group stage. Hate that guy. :clap:

The more I think about it, the "less" bad the German draw becomes. I would rather play Denmark than Croatia (Balkan teams own us), would rather play Netherlands than Spain and am pretty confident that we can beat Portugal.

Yeah, Group B isn't that difficult to win for Germany. As long as they remain healthy, they can beat anyone in there. The Netherlands might (or rather will) be the toughest opponent, given that everyone is healthy.

Group A is really a joke. But, assuming that everything turns out as one could expect, that means Germany will have a rather easy road to the (Semi)Final.
