FULLTIME: 🇩🇪 Germany 7-1 Curacao 🇨🇼
Not much to say about this one
Germany produced some good and quick transitional football against a very weak opponent
It was simply a case of superior quality and experience shining through
We all expected a comfortable win and that’s exactly what they delivered
7 goals, 6 different scorers
My man of the Match: Deniz Undav
Came on as a substitute in the 64th minute and made a huge impact with 1 goal and 2 assists
9/104
🇩🇪 Germany vs Curacao 🇨🇼
This is a classic David vs Goliath clash
Predictions Germany 4:0 Curacao
4 time World Cup winners Germany face debutants Curacao ,the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup
Germany enter in strong form with recent wins over Finland and the USA and boast incredible depth under Julian Nagelsmann
Creative midfield with Musiala and Wirtz, pace from Sane and clinical finishing by Havertz
Captain Joshua Kimmich provides leadership and versatility
Manuel Neuer returns in goal
They should dominate possession and create overloads in attack with their technical superiority
Expect high pressing, quick combinations through the middle and exploitation of width
Player to watch out for me is Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlovic
Curacao, coached by Dick Advocaat, qualified impressively but have limited top level experience
Players like their captain Bacuna comes to this with experience and also former Man United player Tahith Chong leads the attack
They will sit deep, stay compact and hope for long balls, counters or a moment of magic on the break
I predict a comfortable big margin win for the Germans
