World Cup Group E Scenarios, Standings: What Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Curaçao Need To Advance
- Germany already clinched Group E after dominant wins and will face a third‑place team — they look in strong form.
- Ivory Coast controls its fate: a win or even a draw will likely see them through; a loss would leave them dependent on third‑place tiebreakers.
- Curaçao are long shots — they need to beat Ivory Coast and have Ecuador drop points to advance; both Group E matches kick off simultaneously at 4 p.m. ET on FOX/FS1.
