The Olympic soccer tournament is usually boring and never is as good as the real FIFA worldcup both in terms of quality games and excitement.

The German national football team is considered one of the best teams in the world, currently placing fourth on the FIFA world rankings. I think the Germans have a very good chance of winning the title.
