Like its cousins over in Group F, this is another group that sets up fantastically for neutrals.
Two solid European favorites in Germany and Spain who have to have to deal with not only each other, but two teams that are not unfamiliar with the knockout stage. Los Ticos still remember their quarterfinals run from eight years ago where they won the group of death and the Blue Samarai of Japan have made the knockouts three of the last five tournaments and have gotten at least point in every tournament since 2002.
The problem is that Germany is still really good and Spain could be a few years away from another dominant generation.
