Germany wins 9 consecutive matches ahead of World Cup as Nagelsmann’s streak builds momentum

Germany wins 9 consecutive matches ahead of the 2026 World Cup, extending a run that’s already their strongest in decades. Under head coach Julian Nagelsmann, the team has scored 28 goals across nine straight wins, conceding just six. Germany wins 9 consecutive matches ahead of the World Cup after missing the 2024 tournament, turning what would have been a “comeback” into a full resurrection. Their latest result was a 2-1 win over the United States on June 6 in Chicago, with goals from Kai Havertz and Leroy Sané. The article notes Germany’s last nine-match winning streak came in the 1979/80 season. Stat-wise, the defense has limited opponents to an average of 0.67 goals allowed per match, while the attack averages over three goals per game. Germany’s World Cup campaign begins June 14 against Curaçao at NRG Stadium in Houston (Group E). The piece frames this as a key test: the 2026 tournament expands to 48 teams, and Germany’s opening match should indicate whether this nine-match winning streak and +22 goal difference translate into tournament-level sharpness. Germany is a four-time World Cup champion (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014) and is currently around 10th in the FIFA world rankings, setting up an attention-focused storyline heading into the expanded competition.
