Germany just finished landing up in 3rd place in the world and are now going to be off and running for their qualification campaign against Belgium.

The German squad named by Joaquim Low has majority of the players who did a fantastic job this summer in South Africa. Captain Michael Ballack is not going to be involved which will provide a significant impact for this team who will continue to run with the same chemistry under the leadership of Phillip Lahm.

Key men for the German side will be some of the Bayern boys, who have failed to impress for their club squad yes , especially young player of the tournament Tomas Mueller, who has largely been disappointing so far this season.

The German squad is as below: R Adler (Bayer Leverkusen), M Neuer (Schalke), T Wiese (Werder Bremen); H Badstuber, P Lahm (both Bayern Munich), M Jansen, H Westermann (both Hamburg), P Mertesacker (Werder Bremen), S Riether (Wolfsburg); S Khedira, M Ozil (both Real Madrid), T Kroos, T Muller, B Schweinsteiger (all Bayern Munich), M Marin (Werder Bremen), C Trasch (Stuttgart); Cacau (Stuttgart), L Podolski (Cologne), M Gomez, M Klose (both Bayern Munich), S Kiessling (Bayer Leverkusen).

Belgium on the other hand have struggled for a few years, not qualifying for the Euros or World Cup and are looking for an improvement after failure under Dick Advocaat.

Not much needed to be talked about the Belgians, as the Germans should walk all over this.
