The middle match of Saturday’s three-game World Cup slate features the top two teams in Group E as Germany takes on Ivory Coast. Both nations opened the tournament with victories, setting up an intriguing showdown Saturday in Toronto.
Germany entered the 2026 World Cup on a 9-0-0 run in its previous matches, including a 2-1 international friendly victory over the United States on June 6. One of the world’s soccer powerhouses, Germany boasts the sixth-highest payroll and is the sixth-most valuable squad in this year’s tournament. That talent was on full display in a dominant 7-1 win over Curaçao to open its World Cup campaign. Germany controlled 65% possession, fired 26 shots, and placed 12 of them on target in the victory.
Ivory Coast did not produce the same type of offensive explosion, but a win is a win. Its opening match against Ecuador remained scoreless for nearly the entire contest before Amad Diallo broke through in the 90th minute, finishing into the bottom-left corner off an assist from Wilfried Singo to secure a dramatic 1-0 victory.
The Elephants will face a much tougher challenge Saturday against what appears to be one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament.
