For me, it’s a no-brainer here, with Germany vs Mexico. Of course, it will be Germany! They are not only the title defenders and one of the best teams around but have lost to Mexico only once before. My odds are on Thomas Muller as the first goalscorer as he is most consistent and has a history of scoring in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. Yet, there’s a possibility that Julian Draxler could become the star of the match. Germany’s Ozil and Kroos are good too! This is going to be a high scoring game, and Mexico sure has the ability to launch a counter-attack to the most potent Germany. – Zeeyan Nevrekar
