There may be no Liverpool or Everton matches to consume right now, but the World Cup in Qatar is seriously heating up in the final round of group stage matches.
This evening, it's the turn of Group E to reach its conclusion and to say that this one is wide open would be putting it mildly. Four-times winners Germany head into tonight's match with Costa Rica bottom of the group with only a point to show for their efforts.
Anything but a win for the Germans will see them eliminated, but even a victory will only ensure their passage to the knock-out stage if Japan don't spring a surprise against Spain, who top the group with a +7 goal difference.
