Germany's road to World Cup redemption begins on Thursday with a highly anticipated matchup against Iceland.
Germany has never failed to qualify for a World Cup and it still has two players from the 2014 World Cup-winning team in the squad (Manuel Neuer and Mattias Ginter). But Die Mannschaft are still haunted by a last-place finish at the 2018 World Cup.
The Jogi Low farewell tour begins in earnest with Germany's triple-header of World Cup qualifying matches against Iceland, Romania and North Macedonia in the next week. The manager announced last month that he will end his 15-year stint at the helm of Germany after this summer's European championships.
