Recent form

Germany’s two warm-up games for the World Cup saw them pick up two wins, a 4-1 victory over Finland before beating the USA 2-1.

Curacao’s status as significant underdogs was furthered by their heavy defeat to Scotland prior to the tournament.

What’s been said?

Germany boss Nagelsmann on whether he will be coaching at the age of 78, like Curacao boss Dick Advocaat: “Not really. I love my job, but I hope I have some different things to do at [that] age.

“Dick Advocaat is a brilliant guy. I think he’s a really cool coach [who’s done] a brilliant job in Curacao.

“It’s incredible history that they qualified for the World Cup for the first time, and it’s also a great compliment for his work. It’s always [good] to talk to people with such experience. Me, as a young coach, I can always learn from people like him.”

Advocaat on Nagelsmann: “To already become the coach of the national team, you must have something special, and he has that. We will make life very difficult for him, at least that’s what we try. But he’s an excellent coach.”
