Kickoff: We’re underway!
One hour until kickoff: We have lineups! Nagelsmann stayed true to his word and picked the exact same starting XI. A few of those players risk getting a suspension due to yellow cards. Will the coach regret not making a few changes?
With qualification to the next round already secured, Germany look to close out the group in first spot. Julian Nagelsmann says he will not rotate for this game, so expect the same lineup as usual — a risk given some key players could miss the knockouts if they get a single yellow card.
Still, Nagelsmann seems to know what he’s doing. Germany look better than they’ve looked in years — arguably since the 2014 World Cup. Let him cook.
