Analyst brief — Germany going into Global Cup 2026
Form
Renaissance under Nagelsmann post-Euro 2024. Beat Italy + Netherlands convincingly during the cycle.
Style
High press, full-back inverted into midfield, Kroos-shaped pivot now taken by Goretzka/Pavlović.
Squad
Musiala & Wirtz are the brightest attacking duo in Europe; Kimmich the metronome; Tah/Rüdiger defence.
Tournament ceiling
Final. The most exciting team to watch outside of France.
Biggest risk
Goalscoring centre-forward — Füllkrug ageing; Niclas Füllkrug or Behrens needed to step up.
