| With a 4-3 away win against Switzerland in Basel, the German national football team made a positive start to the 2026 World Cup year. On Monday evening, Germany aims to build on their offensive performance while also demonstrating their defensive strength. Coach Julian Nagelsmann's team was originally scheduled to play a friendly against Ivory Coast, but because the Ivorians are among Germany's group opponents at the World Cup , the schedule had to be changed at short notice. That the choice fell on West Africans Ghana. The Black Stars were on the pitch in Vienna just a few days ago and suffered a resounding 1-5 defeat against the Austrian national team. With that in mind we should perhaps see a comfortable home win for the 2014 World Cup champions. |
