The winners of the previous two editions of the FIFA World Cup square off in which should be an intriguing match up. Football fans across the globe will be delighted and eagerly waiting for the game.
Germany won the world cup in 2014 and are the defending champions while Spain won their first ever world cup back in 2010.
Germany will play Brazil next on Tuesday in a series of March friendlies. This should have them in good stead ahead of the summer’s world cup.
On the other hand, Spain will play Argentina next on Tuesday. This should be another testing game for them as Messi will not make things easy for them.
Spain will be eager for success in this year’s world cup especially after the disastrous last world cup in which they were knocked out in the group stages.
