The Schalke veteran is certain that Die Manschaaft can win the World Cup in Brazil despite being in same group with Portugal, USA and Ghana. Ghana-born ex-Germany international Gerald Asamoah has tipped Die Manschaaft to be a hit ahead of Ghana at the World Cup in Brazil and possibly win the ultimate. Germany are in the same group with Portugal, Ghana and the United States of America. �I felt we could�ve already won it in 2010, but we have an even better chance this time around. The boys have matured, plus a number of quality players have come through,� Asamoah told Bundesliga.com. �I firmly believe Germany can become World Champions, although they�re of course not the only ones to have improved in recent years.� Asamoah added: �I�m confident Klose and Gomez get fit in time as both have returned to training. Also, L�w has a good alternative available in Pierre-Michel Lasogga [of Hamburger SV]. He�s hard-working and fearless; let�s see whether L�w picks him.� Asamoah played 43 times for Germany scoring six goals and featured for them in both 2002 and 2006 World Cups.
