The defending champion Germany will begin their title defence when they open their account against Mexico.
The Germans are one of the most balanced side in the tournament as they top have player in each positions making it hard to single out single player from the star studded team while Mexico has been plagued with injures, losing two key defenders ahead of the tournament opener.
Germany have been in top notch form, they sealed qualification with losing a single game, perfect 1- wins from 10 and are one of the favourites to become the first country since Brazil to win back to back World Cups.
