Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany return to World Cup action today, facing a tricky Ivory Coast side in their second group stage outing. Germany’s opening fixture was perhaps the pick of the first matchday as they battered Curacao 7-1, handing the tournament debutants a one-sided beating in their first-ever World Cup match. Kai Havertz was at the double there as six members of the squad got on the scoresheet, going through the gears in style, but will face a much more difficult outing here.
