Germany, a team that beat Messi's Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil, will face Mexico on Sunday in the 2018 World Cup's Group F debut match, which will take place at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow.

Germany, the only national team to reach the 2018 World Cup in Russia after winning every one of its qualifying matches, beat Argentina 1-0 in 2014 at the Maracana stadium. It was their forth World Cup title after having won in 1954 (Switzerland), 1974 (Germany), and 1990 (Italy).

Joachim Loew's team is now seeking to match Brazil's record of five World Cup titles.

Germany's first 2018 World Cup match will take place on Sunday against Mexico, a team that is seeking to outdo its previous best performances in the 1970 and 1986 World Cups held in Mexico, when it reached the quarter finals.

Mexico's lineup for Sunday is uncertain, as coach Juan Carlos Osorio has not repeated a lineup in the last 46 games he has directed.
