Group E still has plenty left to play for, despite Germany guaranteeing itself top spot in the final standings with a match to spare after winning back-to-back games so far.
After unthinkable group stage eliminations in both 2018 and 2022, Germany already knows it will be in a round of 32 match in Foxborough on June 29. The opponent, one of the third-place finishers, remains unknown for a little while longer.
But the battle is behind the four-time champion, with all three teams still in with a chance of climbing to second and also automatically qualifying for the next round.
Côte d’Ivoire only needs one point from its match against Curaçao, but victory for the latter would put the Caribbean team ahead instead. Ecuador needs to win and hope Côte d’Ivoire loses to get second place. But even four total points for any team that finishes third ought to still be enough.
With that in mind, this is how you can watch the final matches unfold in Group E.
