That is true that Germany has many good players. But only like 1/3 of them are actually Germans.

That is not true. Only a minority of the players are not ethnic Germans (such as Shkodran Mustafi, Dennis Aogo, Sidney Sam, İlkay Gündoğan, Mario Gómez, Antonio Rüdiger.etc). If you are referring to players such as Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose, I have to say that they are ethnic Germans, although born outside Germany.

Podolski and Klose are not ethnic Germans they are Slavs both born in Poland. They moved with their families to Germany when they were little kids. They play for Germany and got German citizenship of course, but they are not ethnically germans. And you mentioned like 6 players (and there are more) who are definitely not close to being ethnic germans. I like their team but just accept that there are not really many ethnic germans in that team.

Anyone going to be placing any bets on the games?

What if someone is born outside Germany and his both parents aren't German? Will you still say he's German, just because he currently lives there?
Imagine you move to Jamaica for 10 years, will you suddenly become Jamaican? Your nation is determined by your parents, a Chinese will always be Chinese, even if he lives in Korea for 30 years, just as Podolski, whose parents are Polish.

I am afraid that you are wrong there. After the WW2, the 1 million ethnic Germans living in Poland were subjected to forcible Polonization. They had to change their surnames, and they were banned from speaking the German language. Once the iron curtain fell, many of these people migrated to Germany under the Aussiedler/Spätaussiedler program.

^^^ Croatia is in the same group as Brazil, Cameroon, and Mexico. Quite a tough group although I think they will be able to beat Mexico. Cameroon, I am not sure. They can beat any team on their day. Still, more than 50% chances of Croatia qualifying to the PQF.

I think from this group Brazil and Mexico are better teams for qualifying in next round and Cameron and Croatia have not enough chances for this time

Sorry guys but you people are not realistic. You know Croatia is for almost 20 years in top 10 in world? Only for short time Croatia is here and then out of top 10 teams.
Sorry guys but mark my words, Croatia, will beat all, and Brasil will have 0:0 only if they will play smart, and that will be very good result for Brasil, if they will have luck.
Also please check form of every Croatian player (from attacker to defence players, all score in last 2 months since they changed trainer. Croatia is in impressive shape, and when you compare Croatian team to any other in the world, they have biggest number of attackers which can score. As far as I see last 2 months all of them score on great level. Mandzukic, Olic, Da Silva, Ilicevic. I am 100% positive there is no team with 4 attackers on so high level.
Besides if you compare last 2 European championships, only great luck put Croatia out of game for 1/2 finale, and on last championship with Italy and Spain, judges helped a lot to Spain. All know that..... But you guys will see. I respect every team, but I am almost 200% positive that Croatia will go trough group very easy. I think Brasil will have more work. YOu will see
