World Cup 2018: 5 mouthwatering games in the group stages

#2 Germany vs Sweden

Last time Germany played Sweden in the semi-final of Euro 92

Reigning World Champions Germany will face their biggest test in the Group stages of the tournament against Sweden in the last game of Group F.

The Swedes qualified for the tournament ousting Italy and could shock the world, provided results go their way and, could knock out the holders of the competition, much like Spain were ousted in 2014. The game takes place on 23rd June.

Two strong, powerful teams will face each other to possibly determine the winners of the Group and decide their opponents for the next stage. Sweden looks good defensively but lacks some threat going forward.

Germany on the hand will be confident with their squad that they could go all the way and defend their trophy, becoming only the third team in history after Italy and Brazil did so in the 30's and 60s respectively.
