Germany (Germany Jersey) will head into next summer's World Cup as one of the top contenders, regardless of how the draw plays out on Friday. Die Mannschaft, along with Brazil, Spain and Argentina—all Pot 1 teams—are a step above the rest of the field.

Led by Mesut Ozil,Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Mueller(Soccer Jerseys), the German team has both elite talent and tremendous depth. Nothing less than a deep run would be a great disappointment for a team that seems primed to make a serious charge to the title.

The draw could make the trip much easier and a little more difficult, but will not change the status of Germany as a serious threat championship. Knowing this, we will check the best and worst possible outcomes for Die Mannschaft the day of the draw.

Be in pot 1 is a huge advantage. It ensures that Germany does not have to go through the random disturbing fate of nine European teams Pot 4. Whatever one of those is selected for Pot 2 will then get in contact with a South American team Pot 1 and another UEFA Pot 4 team to create a very difficult group.
avoid opening the door to many possibilities favorable draw.

Pot 2, which(Croatia Jersey) is composed of the remaining South American teams and those in Africa, is not as starry as pots 1 and 4, but it has a handful of dangerous teams. Chile and Ecuador are both underestimated, while the C Thee d'Ivoire and Ghana are the best teams in Africa.

As Germany can not be paired with the European team that moves in the second pot, it leaves three teams for best screenplay, Nigeria, Algeria and Cameroon. Germany is a major favorite on each, with Cameroon being probably the best match.

Pot 3 is a little easier to read. As Germany avoids the United States and Mexico, it must be satisfied with the result. This gives Real Madrid Jersey him a chance to shoot an opponent much lower, with Australia and Iran being the best result of 75 percent.

Finally, there was no significant weak European team that was a major shock qualification. This is a very strong group of teams, which means Germany just hope to avoid the best of the best, highlighted by Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands. Russia would be a solid way to enter the draw.

A quick glance eye on the group above shows why Germany is in such good shape. Yes, it is much more difficult than the best, but it would still be a surprise if Die Mannschaft has not navigate through it. The other teams would be more disappointed us about Germany.

Ultimately, the worst option from Pot 2 is lowered to C Thee Ivory and Chile.

The African squad features a lot of veteran stars, like Didier Drogba, who might view the 2014 tournament as their last chance to make a deep run. But Chile is a solid side from top to bottom, and playing the event in South America helps its cause.

Pot 3 comes down to the United States or Mexico. El Tri just finished a frustrating qualifying campaign that forced them to play an international playoff just to make the tournament. They can still rebound in time for the tournament, though.

The American side would probably be the worse draw, though. United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann has a strong understanding of the German approach after years with the national team and Bayern Munich, making it a matchup Die Mannschaft would probably rather avoid.

Once again, there isn't one team that stands out from Pot 4. Any team Germany draws from the UEFA group is going to pose a tough test. Since Italy knocked the Germans out of Euro 2012, it gets the nod in the worst-case scenario.
