Huge consequences for the World Cup: why Germany must beat Portugal
An incomprehensible, unnecessary competition without relevance that no top team takes seriously? Not at all! Tomorrow evening, the German national team will compete in the Final Four of the Nations League for a spot in the final against Portugal – and for even more. The outcome of this match will determine whether the German team will face an easy group at the 2026 World Cup – or one filled with top contenders! If they lose to Portugal, Germany, currently ranked only tenth in the FIFA world rankings, risks being placed in pot two during the draw. This could mean a tough group with opponents like Argentina, Spain, France, or England already in the preliminary round. Advertisement Besides the three hosts, only the top nine in the world rankings will be placed in the first pot. The German team is currently one point behind Italy but could overtake them with a win against Portugal. However, a loss in the Nations League final could also mean losing points, while Italy could still gather a few points themselves. You can see for yourself: the FIFA rankings are not that easy to understand – but one thing is clear: every goal and every victory already counts for the 2026 World Cup and could ensure that the names in the group stage next year sound much more relaxed – and perhaps it won't mean going directly to Mexico's hot climate. Because that could also be possible if Germany lands in pot two. What do you think? Can Germany crack Portugal – and maybe even win the Nations League?
