The most balanced squad travelling to Brazil this summer is probably Germany. Most teams aim for a spine of players to form a team around but I honestly cannot find a weak link in the German starting 11. Very few teams internationally can boast such a balance of Strength (Mertesacker, Hummels, Schweinsteiger), Technique/Composure (Lahm, Khedira, Gomez), Speed (Reus, Schurrle, Draxler) and Creativity (Ozil, Gotze, Muller). Each of those player examples fall into at least 3 of those categories anyway! The 2010 risk of using a moderately under experienced squad is now paying off. German football has transformed and dominated world football over the last couple of years and I feel that the World Cup trophy would be nothing less than they deserve for the development of an incredibly organised and talented squad. Player to watch: Mario Gotze Bayern Munich
I'm Aaron from England and I've got for football what Russell Brand had for sex and heroin. I follow Celtic & Barcelona religiously and spend hours watching the majority of televised games. Kinda depressing when you write it down but i'm happy with my existence.
