This German team is the best in the world. They will win the World Cup, barring a tsunami in Rio.
Like the Cards vs a AAA team.
I agree they're the best on paper and in principle in the world but they drew a meh Ghana and only beat us 1-0 in a game they bossed. Netherlands and France are both playing great and having their will with opponents more so than Germany right now.
It doesn't seem like anyone is paying France any attention, but they're playing strong.

This german back line is way too weak to make sweeping statements like they're clear favorites. They are not.

They really are, and NED is a better team now than the one that pushed Spain to 113' in the last final

Yes. After that, clean slate.
