About this match

The biggest contrast possible at this World Cup: Germany, four-time world champions (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014), face Curacao, a Caribbean island of just 150,000 people playing their first-ever World Cup. Curacao is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and many of their players came through Dutch club academies, including names who played in the Eredivisie. For Germany, who suffered humiliating group stage eliminations in 2018 (last place after losing to South Korea) and 2022, there is no room for error.
