Germany’s 7-1 Rout of Curacao Sends World Cup Warning
Germany began their World Cup 2026 journey with a commanding 7-1 victory over debutants Curacao in Houston. After Livano Comenencia’s historic opener briefly stunned the four-time champions, Germany replied through Felix Nmecha, Nico Schlotterbeck and Kai Havertz to seize control before half-time. The second half became a showcase of depth and flair as Jamal Musiala, Nathaniel Brown, Deniz Undav and a late Havertz goal completed the rout. Beyond three points, this emphatic win delivers the statement Germany needed. For Curacao, reaching the finals as the smallest nation ever and scoring their first goal remains a proud milestone.
