Squeaky bum time.
Two more groups are up for decision today and it’s still all to play for in groups E and F.
The Germans know they have to beat South Korea to ensure progress to the round of 16 or at least get a better result than Sweden do against Mexico. Bizarrely enough, even though Mexico have won their first two matches, they could still be eliminated today should they lose to Sweden and German beat the Koreans.
This evening, we will see if Brazil can secure their knockout spot when they will need at least a draw against Serbia, whereas the same result will ensure Switzerland will qualify when they face Costa Rica.
Could the unthinkable happen and Serbia send Brazil packing?
