Winner faces Morocco then Brazil.
Runners up face Croatia then Portugal/Uruguay/Switzerland.
I know if it's was me I'd prefer the latter.

Proud of Canada for these first two games 2nd ranked team in the world (Belgium) and 2018 finalists (Croatia) is a very tough draw but we’ve gone and competed This will be good experience for 2026
Hopefully Germany win. Just to make the final group games intriguing and everything to play for all the teams.
Looking forward to watching Musiala, Gavi & Pedri.

I'm 100% sure the pressure will still be on in their minds.
Germany already on their worst ever run of international tournaments in football history. Every team in the group is on 3 points atm, Germany on 0. They will want to set things right for sure.
Spain going to spank them aren’t they, come on Pedri and Gavi..
I think Germany could win this game
That pitch is genuinely sexy.
So Portugal or Brazil, Brazil obviously stronger but then semi final would be Netherlands/Argentina or England/France. Goes both ways. Would say it's 50/50.
Spains defence looks so poor, Germany could easily get at them
Just me that hates the whole "countdown to kickoff" thing they're doing in the stadium?
Juventus v Liverpool feat. Bayern v Barcelona.
Germany’s press v Spain’s anti-press
Hopefully they're going to pick up right where Barca left of in their streak against Bayern.
Spain surely win the most handsome XI in this tournie.
Given the group results one can think that Spain will school Germany and their awful defense but yeah...
We officially arrived.
I lost my voice of all the screaming.
And a bit drunk.

Given that Italy aren't here then yes.
Germany would definitely prefer Portugal that's for sure. Think it's better for them to finish second. If they do, I expect them to make the semi-final.
Just to let him know he's there.
Urhh.
Urhh.
Canadian coach said they're gonna fek us up.
That went well.
That went well.
This the first match that feels like it’s high quality.
England would get battered against this Spain side. We need them to stay on the other side of the draw and get knocked out hopefully by someone else. I'd fancy our chances more against the likes of Brazil and Argentina.
Germany's defense is equally shite. Think we'll see a bunch of goals.
I can't take the word "arrived" seriously anymore in a football sense since the "Tottenham have officially arrived in Europe" and "Tottenham have officically departed from Europe" threads a few years ago.
Congrats on the win for sure, great performance!
Close.
Jeez, that was close.
I like Olmo.
Don't know how you've already put Morocco second. They can easily end up to of their group, especially with the last fixture.
Brilliant save by Neuer
Pedri 
what a hit
Ohhh these boys would be good at 5-aside.
Roma playing Juve off the park in the early going.
Wow Neuer!
Spain is the team to beat.
Good squad, good manager
Good squad, good manager
Looks like that Costa Rica game wasnt a fluke. Possession FC looking serious.
Every time Germany had a cool shirt, they ended up eliminated quite quickly.
Pedri and Gavi are fantastic
