The third day of the competition promises very interesting teams. These will be the Australian footballers who participated in the Asian qualifiers and won, who will try to challenge one of the tournament favorites - the world champion German national team. Despite the fact that the Germans arrived in Russia without their biggest stars, they are one of the strongest teams in this tournament. Although one match per day may seem a bit disappointing, every football enthusiast can expect a real football spectacle from the strongest national teams in the world. Although Germany arrives as the reigning world champion, there are not many champions in their team. Shkordan Mustafi, Matthias Ginter, and Julian Draxler are the only players who triumphed in the tournament held in Brazil in 2014. However, this does not prevent Germany from demonstrating fantastic football. In their last 10 matches, the Germans won 8 and played two draws, scoring 31 goals and conceding only two. Younger German footballers have a lot of motivation to try to demonstrate their talent and put pressure on the country's stars. Australia and Germany have quite a few connections in football. Australian footballers Mitch Langerak and Mathew Leckie play in the Bundesliga competition. Meanwhile, Jamie MacLaren has recently signed a contract with the Darmstadt team, and striker Robbie Kruse used to be a Bayer Leverkusen player. Both teams have already met four times - two friendly matches, one in the World Cup, and one in the Confederations Cup. The first meeting between the teams took place in the Confederations Cup in 2005. Germany then proved their superiority with a 4-3 victory. Five years later, the teams met at the World Cup, when the Germans simply crushed Australia and achieved a 4-0 victory. In friendly matches in 2011, Australia won their only victory against Germany 2-1, and in 2015 the teams parted ways with a 2-2 draw. Australia The Australian national team arrives in Russia after 12 years of unstable results. However, even more talk surrounds Australia's game with three defenders and a defeat to Brazil 0-4. However, Australia has presented more than one surprise in this tournament, and their strength in the center of the field makes every team worry. Possible starting lineup: Goalkeeper: Mathew Ryan.
