Germany’s World Cup squad has a fair few talented players in it. Their 23 man squad features players from the four top leagues in Europe with one from La Liga, one from Serie A, four from the Premier League and 17 from the Bundesliga.

Germany have set high expectations, but are also in a rather difficult group. They are joined in Group G by Ghana, Portugal, and the United States. They play their first match on Monday, June 16 at 12:00 pm ET against Portugal.
