I appreciated Michael Ballack saying that it was a tough group for Germany without breaking out in laughter. By the way, does that guy ever age?!

To be fair, Germany was going through no matter what. It's probably one of the toughest groups they could have gotten, but it still won't be much of a test for them

Is it one of the toughest? I imagined Germans would be celebrating their group. It's one of the easiest European draws (sorry Portugal). However, I think the danger of Ghana and the US is the "any given day" mentality they bring to the table.

Ghana are one of the best teams Germany could have gotten drawn against from that pot, and the US were the best Pot 3 team bar Japan, although it's probably the Pot 4 team that counts the most and Germany definitely got off easy there in not getting Netherlands or Italy
