Yeahh of course Musiala to start against Curacao - he will probably get subbed if germany are in a commanding lead - and I guess so will Sane .
The nerves are slowly building - please please please germany don’t botch today - give it 100% from the word go. You can relax a little if you are up 6-0 at 60 Minutes
I'm not the least bit nervous. I know Germany aren't winning this World Cup, but I still want to see them repair their reputation as a force to be reckoned with, which has been badly damaged since 2018.
Let’s get off to a good start. Noon start for me which is perfect to get this match done and then I can settle in for the others. 7-0. We are back and the horrors of 18 and 22 are gone.
I am just happy that Nagelsmann got the right midfield duo right from the start. Would be nailbiting all games with Goretzka in there.
I don't want a repeat of Euro 2024, where Füllkrug was deployed in the final 15 minutes when it was clear to everyone he should have been a starter.
Good start but we don't look comfortable up against their pace defensively on counters. The 1-1 was sloppy. It isn't actually a surprise as it's a standard problem.
No coordinated pressing at all, Germany sitting deep waiting for Curacao to attack. Not much movement. We need a lot more dominance in midfield.
