Дэлхийн аваргын Е хэсэгт багтсан Герман болон Кюрасаогийн шигшээ багууд Хьюстон хотноо учраа таарч байна.
Юлиан Нагельсманнаар удирдуулсан Герман энэ удаагийн тэмцээнийг итгэл төгс эхлүүлж, хэсгээсээ тэргүүн байраар гарах зорилготой байна. Дэлхийн дөрвөн удаагийн аварга тус баг 2014 оноос хойш хасагдах шатанд шалгараагүй байгаа тул энэ удаагийн гараа маш чухал юм. Нөгөө талд Дик Адвокаатаар удирдуулсан Кюрасаогийн хувьд хүн ам болон газар нутгийн хэмжээгээр ДАШТ-д оролцож буй хамгийн жижиг улс болж түүх бүтээлээ. Тэд зөвхөн оролцогч байх бус, сонгон шалгаруулалтын турш хожигдоогүй амжилтаа үргэлжлүүлж, хүчтэй өрсөлдөгчөө буулган авахыг эрмэлзэж байна.
Тус тоглолт Их Британийн цагаар орой 18:00 цагт эхлэх бөгөөд үзэгчид ITV 1 суваг болон ITVX платформоор дамжуулан хүлээн авч үзэх боломжтой. Герман нийт 21 дэх удаагаа ДАШТ-д оролцож байгаа бөгөөд өнгөрсөн тэмцээнд хэсгээсээ хасагдсан ч гоол оруулах боломжоороо бусад багуудаас илүүрхэж байв. Кюрасаогийн хувьд КОНКАКАФ бүсээс 2018 оноос хойш ДАШТ-д анх удаа шалгарсан шинэ баг болон түүхэнд бичигдээд байна.

Curacao’s qualification for the finals is one of the great fairytale stories of this year’s tournament. History-makers even before a ball has been kicked, they will make their World Cup bow as the smallest nation ever – by both population and land area – to have reached the finals.
But they will feel as though their presence should be taken as more than just a feel-good story. Unbeaten throughout qualifying and helmed by experienced Dutch coach Dick Advocaat, Curacao will be hoping to cause a shock this summer.
