Préparation Coupe du monde 2026 : l’Allemagne, le Portugal et l’Angleterre se rassurent

With six days to go before the start of the 23rd edition of the World Cup, several favorites to win the title played their final warm-up matches. Germany, Portugal, and England took advantage of this to boost their confidence before the start of the competition.

Germany defeated the United States 2-1 thanks to goals from Kai Havertz (2nd minute) and Leroy Sané (57th minute). This is Germany's second consecutive victory, having previously beaten Finland 4-0 on May 31st.

Facing Chile, Portugal also secured a victory, winning 2-1. Gonçalo Guedes (58th minute) and Bruno Fernandes (75th minute) scored the Portuguese goals. Cristiano Ronaldo's men thus notched their second win in as many preparation matches.

England also secured a crucial victory, defeating a tenacious New Zealand side 1-0. Captain Harry Kane delivered the win for the Three Lions, scoring the only goal of the match in stoppage time (45+2).

Thanks to these successes, these three European giants approach the World Cup with more confidence.

Scotland, Morocco's opponent in Group C, also made a strong impression by crushing Bolivia (4-0). Lawrence Shankland (5th), Scott McTominay (23rd) and Ché Adams, who scored twice (30th and 45th), were the Scottish goalscorers.
