For decades, four-time world champions Germany have been a World Cup powerhouse: a team that blends tactical discipline, relentless high pressing and lethal finishing, all backed by four titles in their trophy cabinet.
On the other side, tournament newcomers Cape Verde burst onto the scene as a tight, hard‑working unit, built to defend in numbers and break at full speed into space.
It’s a showdown between a proven superpower and a hungry challenger. In a group stage where every point is gold, the Mannschaft can’t afford any slip‑ups, and the Tubarões Azuis know that a single strike could rewrite their history.
The German shirt comes loaded with finals and podium finishes, but also with the fresh scar of back‑to‑back group‑stage exits, including Qatar 2022. That pressure now drives a new generation, led by Jamal Musiala and captain Joshua Kimmich, determined to restore their status.
After a historic qualification campaign and standout performances at the Africa Cup of Nations, the island nation of Cape Verde arrives on the world stage powered by the goals and character of Ryan Mendes and the constant threat of Garry Rodrigues.
Don’t watch this from the sidelines: experience live this showdown between established tradition and an emerging World Cup dream.
