Group F.
Group F of this year’s Russian World Cup is where Germany’s title defence will begin.
The 2014 champions are entering a new generation after past successes and are looking to build a dynasty by retaining the trophy for the first time in their history.
They won’t have it as easy as they did in their famous 7-1 semi-final against Brazil though, as standing in their way are three very capable teams in Mexico, South Korea and Sweden - the latter dumping other four-time world champions Italy out of the play-offs during qualifying.
Will they make it through, and if so who of the other three will join them?
Isaac Johnson and Lewis Steele offer their predictions below.
