Germany made a confident start to their World Cup campaign with a 7-1 win over tournament debutants Curacao in Group E.
Felix Nmecha opened the scoring just six minutes in, but Germany were stunned when Livano Comenencia levelled with Curacao's first ever World Cup goal.
However, a Nico Schlotterbeck header and Havertz penalty soon restored Germany's advantage before half-time.
A comfortable display saw further goals in the second half from Jamal Musiala, Nathaniel Brown, Deniz Undav and Havertz as Germany wrapped up three points in their first Group E game.

What's the problem with these Germans. They'll just beat the hell out of anyone who doesn't match their energy.

I don't like what Germany did. For the fact that Curacao wore Blue and Yellow doesn't make them Brazil, it doesn't warrant 7-1 scoreline
