1. Germany

The Germans took the world by storm in the 2010 World Cup when nobody really expected them to. A lot of that talent has matured by now; in addition, they have added a whole host of quality young players like Marco Reus and Mario Goetze, to name a few. The fact that most of their players have already been part of the Champions League finals with their respective Bundesliga sides is a good sign, as they will get used to the pressure of the big occasion. There’s no reason why this German side can’t dethrone La Roja with its youthfulness and skill.
