📋 Germany name line-up for World Cup opener against Curaçao

📋 Germany name line-up for World Cup opener against Curaçao One of the contenders for the FIFA World Cup trophy, Germany is LINEUP CONFIRMED for its debut, against Curaçao. The ball gets rolling at 2 pm this Sunday (14), opening Group E — which also includes Ivory Coast and Ecuador. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has all 26 players available. With that, he is fielding his ideal team for the opener. In goal, Neuer comes in for Baumann (who started for much of the cycle). Neuer had retired from the national team, but he is going to his fifth World Cup. In defense, Nathanael Brown (Eintracht Frankfurt) wins the battle over David Raum (RB Leipzig) — who had been tipped to start. In midfield, Nmecha (Borussia Dortmund) will start, leaving GOREEEETZKAAAA on the bench. And up front, Nagelsmann goes with a star-studded quartet: Leroy Sané, Musiala, Florian Wirtz and Havertz. Neuer; Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, Schlotterbeck and Nathanael Brown; Nmecha and Pavlovic; Leroy Sané, Musiala and Florian Wirtz; Havertz . Will Germany steamroll Curaçao or can the underdog pull off a shock? And will Nagelsmann’s team challenge for the trophy? Have your say! Curaçao Making its World Cup debut, Curaçao will try to make something happen right in the opening round. A point — or even a goal — would already be historic. The national team does not have any big-name players. Most play for small-to-mid-sized clubs in the Netherlands — Curaçao is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. An interesting detail is that Curaçao has two brothers in midfield: Leandro Bacuna (34 years old) and Juninho Bacuna (28 years old).
