Germany launched their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 7-1
victory over debutants Curacao, scoring through Felix Nmecha, Nico
Schlotterbeck, Kai Havertz (twice), Musiala, Nathaniel Brown, and Deniz Undav.
Julian Nagelsmann's 4-2-3-1 lineup featured veterans like
Neuer and Joshua Kimmich alongside rising talents such as Musiala and Florian
Wirtz, silencing pre-match skeptics with dominant play.
Curacao grabbed a brief lifeline through Livano Comenencia but couldn't match the four-time champions' firepower. Germany now leads Group E and faces Ivory Coast next on June 20 in Toronto.
