Дэлхийн дөрвөн удаагийн аварга Герман 2026 оны ДАШТ-ий гараагаа түүхэн дэх хамгийн жижиг улс Кюрасаотой хийх тоглолтоор эхлүүлэх гэж байна.
Хьюстон хотод болох энэхүү тоглолтод Германы шигшээ баг илт давуу гэгдэж байгаа ч сүүлийн хоёр ДАШТ-д хэсгээсээ шалгарч чадаагүй тааруу амжилтаа мартах шаардлагатай байна. Юлиан Нагельсманны удирдлага доорх туршлага болон залуу үеийн хослол болсон бүрэлдэхүүн энэ удаагийн гарааг амжилттай эхлүүлэхийг зорьж байна.
Өрсөлдөгч Кюрасаогийн хувьд ДАШТ-д анх удаа шалгарч буй түүхэн амжилт үзүүлсэн бөгөөд тэднийг 78 настай, ДАШТ-ий түүхэн дэх хамгийн ахмад дасгалжуулагч Дик Адвокат удирдана. Багийн бүрэлдэхүүний ихэнх тоглогчид Нидерландад төрсөн нь Германы эсрэг тоглолтыг улам сонирхолтой болгож байна.
Герман нийт 21 дэх удаагаа ДАШТ-д оролцож байгаа нь Европын багуудаас хамгийн өндөр үзүүлэлт юм. Хэдийгээр өмнөх ДАШТ-д хэсгээсээ хасагдсан ч Германы шигшээ баг “хүлээгдэж буй гоолын” (xG) үзүүлэлтээр тэмцээний дөрөвдүгээрт жагсаж байсан нь тэдний довтолгооны хүчийг илтгэнэ.
Тоглолт Их Британийн цагаар 18:00 цагт эхлэх бөгөөд ITV 1 суваг болон ITVX платформоор шууд дамжуулна. Кюрасаогийн хувьд ДАШТ-ий урьдчилсан шатанд 28 гоол оруулж, бүс нутагтаа хамгийн өндөр бүтээмжтэй довтолсон баг гэдгээ харуулсан юм.

Four-time winners Germany begin their 2026 World Cup campaign in a quintessential David versus Goliath encounter with tournament history-makers Curacao in Houston.
On paper, Die Mannschaft are clear favourites to take all three points against the smallest nation ever to qualify for football’s showpiece event.
However, the Germans will be acutely aware that their last two World Cup campaigns have ended in spectacular failure, with the seemingly perennial powerhouses crashing out in the group stage after losing their opening game on both occasions.
Julian Nagelsmann will be hoping his side – one brimming with a mix of experience and talent – can banish their recent disappointment on the grandest stage to the annals of history.
But taking on Caracao, a tiny island in the south Caribbean with a population smaller than that of many UK cities and towns, may prove far from a foregone conclusion.
Led by vastly-experienced Dutch boss Dick Advocaat – who at 78 becomes the oldest manager in World Cup history – many of the Curacao squad were born in the Netherlands, a traditional rival of the Germans, giving the occasion some added spice.
