Germany is basking in the relief of a favorable draw for the World Cup round of 32 as it prepares to take on Paraguay at Gillette Stadium on Monday.
Germany’s performances have been regressing in North America, the 7–1 thrashing of Curaçao in its opener followed by an unconvincing, last-gasp win over Côte d’Ivoire. Most recently, Julian Nagelsmann’s men suffered defeat in the dying embers of their clash with Ecuador.
