FIFA World Cup: Curacao head coach Dick Advocaat urged his players to remain positive after their huge 7-1 loss to Germany in their opening Group E match at the FIFA World Cup, saying qualification for the tournament itself was already a remarkable achievement for the Caribbean side.

Curacao briefly stunned its more illustrious opponent by drawing level at 1-1 midway through the first half after Livano Comenencia scored the team's first-ever goal at a World Cup finals.

However, Germany's superior quality and depth ultimately proved decisive as the four-time world champion pulled away to secure a comprehensive victory.
