German legend Franz Beckenbauer says he expects Ghana and Germany to emerge from World Cup Group D.
The World Cup winning coach and player reckons the group which pits his country against Ghana, Serbia and Australia should not cause Joachim Low any panic even though he admits it is packed with good teams.
Serbia picked the automatic slot in their qualifying group ahead of France while Australia were only denied a place in the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup.
But ‘The Kaizer’ reckons the fact that the tournament is taking place on African soil, his pick to emerge from the group is Germany and Ghana.
Another German great Gunter Netzer is not so sure though. “It is much harder for me to assess Ghana,” he said
“This team has, like all the African teams has the advantage that the World Cup takes place on the African continent. This will trigger additional euphoria. Yet in the end we have to enforce the German quality.”
