the mix for 2026 glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>In this article, we&#8217;ll cover<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-a-point-to-prove\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-point-to-prove\">A point to prove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not very often that you say that about Germany when it comes to major tournament football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet since winning their fourth World Cup in 2014, Die Nationalelf have done themselves a serious injustice on the world&#8217;s biggest stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their title defence fell at the first hurdle in 2018, with memories of Manuel Neuer getting caught deep inside South Korea&#8217;s half during their 2-0 defeat still painful to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also bowed out in the group stage four years ago, while their quest for home glory in Euro 2024 ended in a heartbreaking quarter-final loss against eventual champions Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Germany have shown recent signs that they are starting to settle again and develop consistency following a lengthy transitional period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-defensively-solid\">Defensively solid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany also failed to capitalise on home advantage when they hosted last year&#8217;s Nations League finals, eventually having to settle for a fourth-place finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julian Nagelsmann&#8217;s side then made a losing start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, going down 2-0 in Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, they responded brilliantly to that setback, reeling off five successive wins with four clean sheets along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last of these came in their group decider against Slovakia when, needing victory, they condemned their rivals to a comprehensive 6-0 rout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawn in Group E alongside Curacao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador, Germany will have the opportunity to continue building on their defensive solidity, before potentially facing tougher opponents later in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n

Although, the four goals they scored in their final group game against Costa Rica in 2022 ultimately proved academic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, Germany do have four strikers with impressive strike rates at international level they can call upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Woltemade has scored four goals in eight caps, while AC Milan forward has netted 14 times in 24 senior international appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tim Kleindienst has four goals in six caps, and Deniz Undav three in six appearances. Therefore, Germany can have no qualms when it comes to finding somebody to stick the ball in the net.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-articles-list\">\n                    <h2
