Fourteen national teams were involved in friendly matches before the start of the American event: an easy success for South Korea too. Mexico beat Australia with a goal from Vasquez of Genoa
Less than two weeks before the start of the World Cup, Germany looks decidedly healthy. In the friendly test against Finland, the Germans won with a clear 4-0. The great protagonist of the evening was Undav, author of a brace and an assist to Wirtz, while the fourth goal was scored by Musiala. Also in group E – the same as Germany – there will be Ecuador, who won 2-1 against Saudi Arabia. In group A of the next World Cup, however, Mexico narrowly beat Australia thanks to Vasquez. South Korea, which will belong to the same group, beat Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 (doubles for Son and Cho), while the Czech Republic got the better of Kosovo 2-1 with goals from Ladra and Hlozek – Emerllahu scoring for the Kosovars.
the other world tests

The hosts United States did well, defeating Senegal 3-2. Dest opens on an assist from Pulisic, then the AC Milan player scores the second. Mané scores a brace, which Balogun then makes useless. Japan (group F) is also smiling, finding the decisive goal in the final with Ogawa: it ends 1-0 against Iceland. Probably the real surprise of the evening was represented by the 3-0 with which Cape Verde (group H) got rid of Serbia. A very convincing performance also for Switzerland, who beat Jordan 4-1: Embolo (penalty), Ndoye, Xhaka (penalty) and Fassnacht paved the way, with Al Fakhouri scoring the winning goal.
