Germany back to their best: 6 points and early qualification for the last 16 at World Cup 2026
Germany cruise through Group E with 6 points in their most impressive World Cup showing since winning it in 2014.
Germany are back. The four-time world champions have swept through Group E with maximum points, rediscovering their best form and sending a warning to every other contender at the 2026 World Cup.
Ruthless and clinical
Die Mannschaft have been a joy to watch — attacking with width, creativity and precision. After the disappointments of 2018 and 2022, this feels like a genuine redemption story.
Best since 2014?
With 6 points from the group stage, Germany look stronger than at any World Cup since their 2014 triumph in Brazil. The squad has depth, balance and — crucially — a settled system.
Eyes on the last 16
Germany advance to the round of 16 as group winners, confident and dangerous. The tournament has a new favourite.
