#2. Germany
Germany, the 2-time World Cup Champions, found themselves in the toughest group with the Netherlands, Pakistan and Malaysia, but managed to top the group by winning all their matches.
They have also scored 10 goals in the process and their penalty corner conversion rate has been pretty good too. Forward Niklas Wellen has been a revelation by playing a key role in a few German goals. He has positioned himself really well inside the D to retrieve long passes and provide those vital final touches. His stick-work is also very good.
Marco Miltkau has been another German who has impressed a lot. He has scored 4 goals in the tournament so far. The Netherlands has traditionally been the bogey side against Germany but were outclassed by the latter in their group match. Germany won 4-1 and made sure that they topped the group. They also scored 5 goals against Malaysia and look like genuine contenders for the title.
