Yet their recent performances have been shocking by their high-standards, having fallen in the group stages in each of the last two editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany aren\u2019t considered one of the concrete favourites but you\u2019d still be a fool to write them off. A win over newcomers Curacao would extend their winning run to 10 matches in all competitions, which would be their best run since a 12-game streak they put together between 1979 and 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/curacao\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Curacao<\/a> are a huge 55\/1 to stun the Germans and 22\/1 just to carve out a draw, and 13\/5 to score exactly one goal. If any of those three happen it will obviously be a World Cup first for the country of 160,000 people: the smallest nation to ever qualify. Yet, history will definitely be made at Houston\u2019s NRG Stadium as Curacao\u2019s returning boss Dick Advocaat will set a new record as the oldest manager, 78, to ever take charge of a World Cup match. That\u2019s a whopping 40 years older than Germany\u2019s Julian Nagelsmann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1453486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-214x267.jpg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest-59x74.jpg 59w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/01163503\/SYMS_Managers_Oldest.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-netherlands-vs-japan-stats\">Netherlands vs Japan stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Netherlands snapshot stat: <\/strong>Netherlands are looking to extend their impressive run of 16 straight unbeaten group stage games, which is the longest current active streak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Japan snapshot stat:<\/strong> Japan will be bidding to become the first country to beat Netherlands in a World Cup opening game since Czechoslovakia in 1938.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Could this be the year that three-time finalists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/netherlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Netherlands<\/a> finally get their hands on the trophy? They are outside the main cluster of favourites at 20\/1 to do so. After missing the 2018 edition completely, Oranje finished in the quarter-finals four years ago where they were edged out on penalties by eventual winners Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what the Netherlands can draw on is an extremely impressive record in the group stages, where they\u2019ve gone unbeaten in 16 matches dating back to 1994 in America. On top of that, they\u2019ve not lost any of their last nine opening games at the tournament, stretching back to 1938. They will look to all-time scorer Memphis Depay (52 goals) to make an impact after he accumulated eight goals and four assists in qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan<\/a> are appearing in their eight straight World Cup and will harbour hopes of surpassing the last-16 for the first time. The Samurai Blue stunned Germany and Spain en route to topping their group four years ago, before losing on penalties to Croatia in the last-16. Hajime Moriyasu\u2019s side are simply not to be sniffed at as they head into the tournament on a six game winning streak, which includes friendly victories over England and Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Netherlands forward Memphis Depay\" class=\"wp-image-1456909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/11232433\/3EMCH4X-111x74.jpg 111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ivory-coast-vs-ecuador-stats\">Ivory Coast vs Ecuador stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ivory Coast snapshot stat:<\/strong> Ivory Coast are bidding to win their fifth match on the spin, which includes a victory over France.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ecuador snapshot stat: <\/strong>If Ecuador avoid defeat they will stretch their unbeaten run to 20 matches dating back to 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/cote-divoire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ivory Coast<\/a> have already stunned France in a friendly this month, now The Elephants return to the World Cup for the first time since 2014 looking to make it through the group stages for the first time in their history.
