While the group line-up looks very hard and competitive, Germany can actually be happy with the draw. Australia are good team, but not really the side they were under Guus Hiddink, so I expect the Germans to win their first match.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to go and say it that Australia won't make it past the group stage. The one, who'll go through alongside Germany might be decided already in the 1st round of matches, with a win giving a huge boost for either Ghana or Serbia.

Winner of this group will meet the second team from group C, while the runner-up will meet the group C winner.
