Underdogs Mexico are ready to cause a major upset and beat Germany for the first time in its world cup opener.

Coach Juan Carlos Osorio says his team is well prepared and will make the Central Americans realize the World Cup clash is just another football game.

“If we are going to play in a neutral stadium, with everything that is around the World Cup then I think Mexico can win against Germany.”
