Germany has won the group and will play in Boston on Monday, June 29, at 3:30 p.m. Their opponent is still to be determined.

Côte d’Ivoire will qualify as Group E runners-up and play either France or Norway in the Round of 32 at Dallas Stadium on June 30 at noon if they win or draw against Curaçao. They will be eliminated if they lose and Ecuador wins; Germany has nothing to play for.

Ecuador will qualify as the runners-up with a win, and they remain better in goal differential and goals scored than Curaçao. Ecuador is eliminated with a loss, and Curaçao draws or wins; or if both teams lose but Ecuador is passed on differential and scoring. Ecuador would also be eliminated with a draw if Curaçao wins.

Curaçao qualifies as the runner-up with a win as long as Ecuador does not defeat Germany. Curaçao could also pass Ecuador if they both win, but would have to equal or better their goal differential or goals scored. That would take at least 5 goals. Curaçao would be eliminated with a loss or draw if Ecuador does not lose or maintains their lead in goal differential and goals scored.

Côte d’Ivoire, Curaçao, and Ecuador could still qualify as a third-place team, but it would depend on tie-breakers with teams in other groups. The second-place team will play France or Norway, depending on the result on Friday.

All four teams play at 3 p.m. CST.
