The scoreline is the biggest win for Germany in a qualifier and shows their attacking depth. Havertz bookended the half with goals, while youngsters like Musiala got on the sheet. It’s a statement start, though Curacao’s debut reminds us minnows still get a chance.

Netherlands looked ruthless against Sweden, while Germany needed a late goal from Deniz Undav to edge past Ivory Coast. Curacao's win over Ecuador was the big surprise, showing how unpredictable this World Cup can be.
