"Germany have done it. They have officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico after a comprehensive 6-0 routing over Slovakia at the RedBull Arena in Leipzig. The Germans were far and away the better side on the night and, quite arguably, could have sent Slovakia packing by more than a six-goal margin, as Julian Nagelsmann's Die Mannschaft side were exceptionally better than they were for their lackluster 2-0 win at Luxembourg last week."
"We knew that if we play at our top level, we'd win today. The coach prepared us very well and found the right words. It was a very good game. Everyone knew what was at stake. I told the guys that the World Cup is the biggest competition a player can play. I'm happy with the way we won. Also compliments to our physios and doctors who made sure I was ready for the game,"
"A brace from Galatasaray's Leroy Sané and goals from Newcastle United's Nick Woltemade, Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry, RB Leipzig's Ridle Baku, and Leipzig's Assan Ouédraogo rounded out the scoring for what looked to be a well-oiled German machine. Of all six of Germany's World Cup qualifiers, this was, without a doubt, their strongest performance - it was much needed after their Luxembourg performance came under a great deal of criticism."
Germany secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 6-0 victory over Slovakia at RedBull Arena in Leipzig. The team dominated possession and created numerous chances, producing arguably its best performance among six qualifiers. Goals came from Leroy Sané (brace), Nick Woltemade, Serge Gnabry, Ridle Baku, and Assan Ouédraogo. Joshua Kimmich and Nico Schlotterbeck returned to the starting lineup, with Kimmich praising the coach's preparation and medical staff after returning from an ankle injury. The win provided a needed response after a criticized 2-0 victory over Luxembourg and confirmed the squad's cohesion and attacking potency.
