Best Performance

It has been a period of transition for Germany, and after 15 years as manager, Joachim Loew resigned following Germany’s defeat to England in the Round of 16 match last summer. Hansi Flick has since taken over, leading his nation to seven consecutive victories, scoring 31 goals along the way and conceding just twice, in qualifying and Germany became the first European team to qualify for the World Cup later this year. Despite winning the World Cup in 2014, Germany were shockingly knocked out of the last World Cup in the Group Stages following defeats to Mexico and South Korea, but the four time world champions and three time European champions will still be amongst the favourites this time around.

Player to Watch

At the age of 21, Kimmich’s performances at his first major tournament, Euro 2016, led him to be named in the Team of the Tournament, and since then Kimmich has been virtually everpresent in the German squad. Though he started at right back, Kimmich has more of a midfield role in recent years where he has shown much versatility in his attacking and defending abilities on the flanks. He is also no stranger to trophies, having picked up 7 consecutive league titles with Bayern Munich as well as the Champions League.
