7’ — TOR! Germany take the lead in Cologne!
Lineups are out! Julian Nagelsmann pretty much sticks to his word based on the team news that came out after the Slovakia game:
Germany got bested by Slovakia in the former’s World Cup Qualifying match. Die Mannschaft slumped to a 2-0 loss in Bratislava, which infuriated gaffer Julian Nagelsmann who wanted a better response from his men. He will get the chance to rectify things in their next group match, which will be against Northern Ireland in Cologne.
Germany must finish first to avoid the playoffs early next year; they’ve still got five matches left and a win against the Green and White Army will be a step in the right direction. Who do you think takes the three points today?
Prediction: Germany wins 3-1
Location: RheinEnergieStadion, Cologne, Germany
Time: 8:45 PM local time, 2:45PM EDT, 11:45 AM PDT
