Germany made it clear they have arrived at the World Cup 2026 to be protagonists. In their debut match for Group E, the "Mannschaft" (Germany's national team nickname) thrashed Curaçao 7-1 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, in a game that marked the World Cup debut for the Caribbean selection.
The start was surprising: Livano Comenencia scored at the 20-minute mark, netting Curaçao's first-ever World Cup goal, generating a momentary draw that sparked a wave of excitement. However, the illusion for the debutants was short-lived against the German machine.
