Germany can have 7 points in a World Cup group because the group stage awards 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 for a loss. So 7 points usually means a team had results like two wins and one draw, or another combination that adds up to 7.

In the current World Cup context, Germany’s standings page shows how points are tracked in group play, and FIFA reported Germany started one match with a 7-1 win over Curaçao. If you saw “7 points,” that refers to the team’s total in the table, not a single match score.
