Germany will want to forget the World Cup in Russia. The biggest setback was in 2018. Lost in the group competition. In the first game, they lost to Mexico by one goal. He tried to come back by conquering Sweden. However, they lost to South Korea by two goals and were eliminated. This is the 20th World Cup. Four-time winners (2014, 1990, 1974, 1954). Runner-up and third place four times.
In the World Cup, Germany is always seen as changing appearances. German dominance on football’s highest stage is unquestionable. But Russia was different. Last year, he could not come back in the Eurocup. They lost to England in the pre-quarters. This time only one win in six games in the Nations League. Coach Hansi Flick prepares the team by settling the mistakes.
They won nine of 10 games in European qualification. A defeat. When he scored 36 goals, he recovered four. Sergi Nabri, Ikai Gundogan and Timo Werner scored five goals each. This time, a balanced team with experience and youth will be presented. Good in defense and attack. A wide array of goalscorers in midfield.
Captain Manuel Noye, faithful under the bar. Matt Hummels and Antonio Rudiger in defence. There are talents in the middle order. The new phenomenon is a nineteen-year-old named Jamal Musiala. This future star of Bayern Munich can score and create goals. Joshua Kimmich, who shines in the defensive midfielder role, could grab all the attention of the World Cup alongside Musiala. Ikai Gundovan will be the cornerstone. This is the last World Cup for experienced striker Thomas Muller. The thirty-three-year-old has scored 44 goals in 118 games. Leroy Sane, Kai Havertz and Werner are all key weapons for the coach.

Will Japan rise?
A question that arises before every World Cup. However, Japan is never able to rise up and spread the light. It is customary for people to set before rising. No history of advancing beyond the pre-quarters. We cannot say for sure that there will be a change this time. Because Group E includes Germany, Spain and Costa Rica.
This is the seventh World Cup as Asian representatives. Reached the prequarters three times in six. They started by beating Colombia last time. A draw with Senegal. Lost to Poland. Belgium were eliminated in the prequarters. The strength of the team is the presence of players from European clubs. Arsenal player Takehiro Tamiyas is in defense. Takumi Minamino and Kaoru Mitoma in midfield. Monaco club star Minamino is the player controlling the game. Minamino scored 10 goals in the Asian qualifiers. Yuto Nagamoto, Shogo Taniguchi and captain Maya Yoshita are there to anchor the defense.
