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.

Just after Messi's hat-trick against Algeria, his family said his dad Jorge is dealing with a health issue. It’s tough to see him so emotional on the pitch knowing that. Hope he gets the support he needs.

Just when we thought the buildup was calm, Messi’s passport details got leaked and a bunch of Scottish fans saw their travel approvals yanked at the last minute. Adds extra spice to an already heated tournament talk. Honestly, hope it doesn’t affect the on-field action.
