ANOTHER WORLD CUP FOR GERMANY?

   

Germany's Official World Cup 2018 Squad? All the way?

 
     You can't be serious. Who do they think they are? Germany, to win a second consecutive cup? Not even on EA's footballing franchise (Fifa 18). Only two nations have won it on a spin: Italy and recently Brazil in 1962. Czechoslovakia falling to the Samba boys in Chile.
   But who'll discount these Germans? You'll be forgiven to think of them as that team in school who just found a way to get past every single team. That's an elite mentality: an inner self-belief in their own abilities. It all stems from the head coach, Joachim Loew (who has a bit of Hitler about him you could say, bar the moustache): a certain authority daring each opposition in the face. Just ask Brazil's class of 2014.
    Placed In Group F alongside Mexico, Sweden, and South Korea, Der Kaiser's grandkids come into this tournament on the back of a pretty impressive qualifying campaign (a 100% win ratio). Only Brazil can boast that record really. Form, they say, goes out the window, in cup competitions.
    Only a handful of teams could dare challenge this group of efficient professionals. The neutrals would love a dethrone (and the Argentine alien). His pal Neymar's peaking at the right time. Yeah yeah, we know about you Spain and Pogba. Did I hear someone say: Nigeria? Eh, we're all exercising our rights to dream, aren't we?
    Football's most illustrious event is upon us, and as usual the frenzy's getting up your skin. I'll be in Russia (somewhere in Africa) to keep you updated. Tell your boss you're done for the month, and bae too (At owner's risk). It's going to be one heck of a ride.
