Match Preview
Germany open their World Cup 2026 campaign against debutants Curaçao at NRG Stadium in Houston. Julian Nagelsmann's side, captained by Joshua Kimmich and featuring the comeback story of 40-year-old Manuel Neuer in goal, leans on the creative spine of Musiala, Wirtz and Havertz. Curaçao — the smallest nation ever to reach a men's World Cup by population — is led by veteran coach Dick Advocaat and will defend deeply. Anything other than a routine German win would shake Group E from minute one.
