The German national team is ready for the World Cup. In the last test match, the DFB team defeated the USA 2-1, Kai Havertz and Leroy Sané scored for the DFB team. It was the ninth win in a row for Nagelsmann. Another one should follow against Curaçao, as the team is ranked 82nd in the world rankings.
