Germany always shows up at World Cups. After two shocking group stage exits, this squad — led by Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala — has a point to prove. Expect ruthless efficiency and a very dangerous team.

Germany has won the World Cup four times (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014) and reached the final eight times. They're the most consistent heavyweight in World Cup history.
The 2014 World Cup final was Germany vs. Argentina — and Germany won 1-0 with a goal in extra time. Their "Machine" style of play was considered the gold standard of modern soccer.
Germany was eliminated in the group stage of both 2018 and 2022 — stunning exits for a perennial contender. In 2026, they're determined to prove those were anomalies, not a new trend.
