It's all over between Germany and Curaçao after the opening match of Group E at this 2026 World Cup. The Germans claimed a resounding victory.

Germany recorded a commanding win over Curaçao (7-1) on Sunday night. The Germans showed no mercy against a side making their very first World Cup appearance.

Julian Nagelsmann's men take control of Group E. With the huge lead the Mannschaft now hold in goal difference, it's hard to imagine Côte d’Ivoire or Ecuador overtaking Julian Nagelsmann's side after this opening day.
