Germany star Lukas Podolski has admitted his side have a tough task on their hands if they are to reach the knockout stages of the World Cup in Brazil. Joachim Low�s team have been drawn alongside Portugal, Ghana and the United States in Group G - one of the tournament�s most difficult pools. Despite reaching the semi-finals at the last two World Cups, Podolski understands Germany will need to be at their very best to avoid being a shock early casualty.
