The World Cup 2026 group stage has concluded and now the focus turns to the knockout rounds as nations look to progress as far as possible with sights set firmly on reaching the final in New York.
Germany are one of the favourites to go far in the tournament having finished top of Group E thanks to wins over Ivory Coast and Curacao. However, Julian Nagelsmann’s side lost their final group game against a fearless Ecudaor who overcame Leroy Sane’s early strike to triumph 2-1.
