Recommendations of the Editorial team
Well, anything planned for July 11th? At least for Berliners (or those who want to go to Berlin), there is a real agony of choice on that Saturday (that too – weekend!). A concert program that is rarely experienced in this density, even in the capital. The performances are spread quite well across the city. Deep West (Spandau), Middle (Gendarmenmarkt) and Deep East (Wuhlheide).

This will be exciting, especially for the transport companies: the Olympic Stadium and the Waldbühne are very close to each other. Fans use the same lines to arrive and depart. “It will be interesting to see how easy this will be. With the Beatsteaks, the Toten Hosen also have a real main act in their supporting program. The Berlin band could have also filled the Wuhlheide if The Cure hadn’t already been performing there…
And then the World Cup too!
If Germany finishes first or second in the group and passes the first two knockout rounds, there would be a quarter-final day with the Nagelsmann team on July 11th.
According to the FIFA tournament tree and the projections in the Sportschau World Cup schedule, there are two main scenarios:
Scenario 1 (Germany wins group): If Germany takes first place in Group E and then wins the round of 16, a cracker like France is likely to await them in the round of 16.
If the DFB team wins this duel on July 4th, they would most likely face top nations such as Italy, Belgium or the winner from Group G (Argentina) on July 11th in Miami (Game 99).
Scenario 2 (Germany comes second in the group): If Germany only finishes the group in second place, they face a direct duel against record world champions Brazil in the round of 16 after the round of 16. If Germany prevails here on July 5th, they would face the winner of the parallel branch on July 11th in Kansas City (game 100) – England, Portugal or strong third-place teams could be waiting there.
