Another June, 77 years after. Germany will start their campaign in Russia to be the world-beater again! In 1941 on June 22, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi-Germany started its campaign to invade Soviet Union. German forces advanced around 1000 miles into the Soviet territory, yet had to come back when the USSR, led by Joseph Stalin, fought back gallantly to save the world from Hitler as popularly claimed by Russians during the World War II.

On June 17, in Moscow's Luzhniki, earlier named as Lenin Stadium, German football team will play their first match against Mexico in their bid to emulate Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962) as back to back world champions. Can the land of Red Army stop the Germans from conquering the World in 2018? The World Cup winning German coach Joachim Loew can also do what Vittorio Pozzo did. The late Italian manager remains the only person to win two World Cups at a stretch.
