Australia have made it to the World Cup despite the fact that they have not been playing well of late. There does not seem to be much in the way of high expectations surrounding the team, but this does not mean that they won’t pull out a surprise here. Germany are the team to beat in Group D so expect a spirited effort from Australia during this match.

Germany have an impressive record in the World Cup and will be hoping to do well this year. Just like England, their captain Michael Ballack has suffered an injury before the event. This will only be viewed as a temporary setback though, and they will be approaching this first match full of determination.
